Buxus sempervirens is the perfect species for topiary cones, as the evergreen foliage provides year-round interest and, as Box topiary is relatively slow-growing, it’s very low maintenance and can be easily pruned into a formal shape. Simply trim your Buxus topiary cone once a year to keep it looking neat.
