Add some beauty and dimension to your landscape by choosing plants around boxwoods. Create a lush privacy hedge, add vibrant color, or spice up your garden with texture - whatever you choose will help create an eye-catching landscape. Here are some suggestions:
When selecting what plants to put in front of boxwood hedges, color is key. A carefully chosen palette can completely transform the appearance of your garden. Try pairing those lush hedges with romantic pastel-hued hydrangeas, phlox or carnations for a stunning display!
Boxwoods make an elegant companion to roses. These evergreen shrubs require minimal upkeep and look stunning when combined.
Incorporating plants that feature different shaped leaves or variegated foliage into your boxwood hedges will add visual interest and make your plants stand out in the garden.
Herbs make wonderful companions for boxwood hedges, adding a pleasant fragrance and visual interest. Consider planting lavender (Lavandula) or thyme (Thymus vulgaris) in front of your hedges for a more subdued fragrance.
A range of perennial flowering plants such as begonias, impatiens and coleus will look lovely in front of your boxwoods. All have low maintenance requirements and thrive in similar conditions to what your boxwoods provide.
Vegetables are an excellent way to add color and contrast to your boxwood hedges. There is a wide range of types that will thrive in the same well-drained soil as your boxwoods.
