Variegated Box is not often seen and no doubt traditionalists will hold up their hands in horror at the very idea of something of such doubtful taste as Variegated Box. Its delicious and clips beautifully and compliments clipped green box as well as anything. We have lots on the nursery and – incidentally – have never seen any Box Blight on it. Possibly because we clip them very rarely.
The words below are cut and pasted from our entry on Buxus sempervirens (the non variegated one) :
N.B. When clipping several plants with the same tool, have a bucket containing a 5% bleach solution and swish your blades around for 30 seconds between plants to sterilise them. This will help avoid the chance of cross contamination of disease.
As with all woody plants, plant high, exposing as much of the taper at the base of the trunk as possible. Allowing soil to accumulate round the base of a tree can be fatal. Keep very well watered when first planted.
