Where to buy Buxus plants

Many a garden-lover dreams of rows upon rows of neat buxus hedges. Those of us who might just be getting started on planning the layout might be wondering where to buy buxus plants. 

Now, finding a good nursery that sells buxus isn’t always as easy as it sounds, especially if you’re new to gardening. Here are a few pointers for picking out a plant delivery provider in Sydney who can help you find the best types of buxus for your garden. 

 

A Wide Variety

An ideal place to buy buxus plants will offer you a wide selection, as there are many different kinds of buxus such as Japanese, Korean, English, Faulkner and Chinese (as well as different kinds of each).

 

Healthy Plants

Where the stock is green and glossy is where to buy buxus plants. Here are a few signs you should look for when checking out the buxus you want to buy:

• Leaves should be green, thick, oval and healthy and must not be black, brown, yellow, bleached, wilted or misshapen. 
• Leaves should also be bug-free and not be sticky or have holes, furrows or blisters.
• The buxus should also have enough leaves or not too much bare stem.
• Buxus that has been in stock for a while should be pruned evenly, as spotty, random pruning suggests that unhealthy leaves might have been hastily removed.
• The roots of the buxus that show above ground should look healthy and not soft, brown or soaked, as root rot can be a real problem for buxus plants.
• The pots that the buxus is being sold in should have healthy soil and should not have weeds.

 

In the Neighbourhood

It’s a good idea to buy your buxus from a nursery that is close to home, so that the buxus won’t have a hard time acclimatising to your garden. 

 

Easy Payment and Delivery

You’re going to need more than one buxus plant for your hedge, so your nursery should make it easier for you to buy in bulk or wholesale. It would be great if they also offered buxus plants at sale or discount prices and if they staggered payments with buy now, pay later services such as Afterpay. 

The nursery should likewise be able to complete your order and get your buxus to you within a reasonable time frame.

 

Great Customer Service

You’re also likely to ask one or two questions when you buy your buxus—perhaps more if this is your first hedge. The nursery should be able to put you at ease and answer all your queries, not just about the delivery process but about the buxus itself.

You should be able to ask them about how to take care of buxus plants and about the differences between the types. The nursery might also give you some advice for how to make buxus grow faster or where to plant them in your garden.

This kind of service and advice often comes with experience, so when deciding where to buy buxus plants, it’s also a good idea to go with a plant delivery provider who’s been in the business for a good long while. This gives you added assurance of the quality of the buxus you are buying, especially when you shop online. 

You should, however, be able to visit the nursery and see the growing yard or the conditions in which the buxus was grown.
