Buxus sempervirens, commonly known as boxwood, is a type of evergreen shrub that is often pruned into decorative shapes like balls. These boxwood balls are popular in landscaping and gardening for their neat and formal appearance. They have dense, dark green foliage and a compact growth habit, making them ideal for creating structured and elegant designs in gardens or as standalone features in pots or planters. Boxwood balls are low-maintenance plants that can thrive in various light conditions and soil types, making them versatile and easy to care for.
