Vitax Buxus Liquid Feed 1 Litre – Concentrated Fertiliser for Box Hedges, Topiary and Container Buxus – Greener Leaves, Dense Compact Growth and Improved Disease Resistance – Makes 225 Litres

• Yellowing leaves, browning foliage and loss of density are the most visible signs that buxus plants are undernourished – and standard shrub feeds do not address the specific nutritional requirements of box plants. This concentrated liquid feed is formulated specifically for all buxus varieties, delivering a precisely balanced NPK ratio with 6% Nitrogen for vigorous new growth and deep green leaf colour, 1.5% Phosphorus for strong root establishment and 3% Potassium for improved plant resilience and temperature tolerance. The targeted formula directly addresses the nutrient deficiencies most responsible for poor buxus performance in UK gardens.
• Trace elements Copper, Iron and Manganese in the formula actively support the plant's natural defence mechanisms, improving tolerance against the fungal diseases and environmental stresses that make buxus vulnerable in UK growing conditions. Iron and Manganese support healthy chlorophyll production for the rich, glossy green leaf colour that defines well-maintained box topiary and hedging. Regular feeding with this Vitax specialist formula strengthens the plant from root to leaf, reducing susceptibility to box blight and the leaf discolouration and dieback associated with prolonged nutrient stress.
• One 1-litre bottle of this concentrated formula makes up to 225 litres of feed solution, providing a complete growing season of applications from a single purchase. The liquid concentrate delivers nutrients directly to the root zone on application, acting faster than granular alternatives that must first break down in the soil before becoming available to the plant. Apply every two to four weeks from early spring through to late summer for consistent nutrition throughout the active growing season and visibly denser, more uniform growth.
• Suitable for all buxus varieties and growing environments – box hedges in garden borders, ball and cone topiary in terracotta pots and containers, structured formal planting in raised beds and patio planters. Container-grown buxus and topiary pieces are particularly dependent on regular liquid feeding as nutrients in restricted compost volumes are rapidly exhausted, making consistent replenishment essential for maintaining the tight, compact growth habit and rich leaf colour that formal buxus is grown for. Simply dilute with water and apply using a standard watering can.
• Developed by Vitax, a British specialist in plant and garden nutrition with over 140 years of expertise and ISO9001 and ISO14001 certified manufacturing standards. Part of the Vitax specialist plant feed range, this liquid buxus feed is suitable for Buxus sempervirens and all other buxus species used for hedging, topiary and ornamental planting. Always dilute before use. Read the label in full before application. Keep out of reach of children and pets.

Product description VITAX BUXUS LIQUID FEED – SPECIALIST NUTRITION FOR HEALTHIER, GREENER BOX PLANTS Buxus is one of the most demanding plants in the UK garden. It grows slowly, requires consistent feeding throughout the season, and is highly sensitive to nutrient deficiency – showing the effects quickly in yellowing foliage, browning leaf tips, loss of density and weakened resistance to box blight. General-purpose shrub feeds and multi-purpose fertilisers lack the specific nutrient balance that buxus requires and often fail to address the trace element deficiencies that undermine plant health at the cellular level. This Vitax concentrated liquid feed is formulated specifically for buxus, providing the precise nutritional profile needed to produce deep green, glossy foliage, dense compact growth and the improved disease resistance that separates well-fed box plants from struggling ones. THE FORMULA The NPK ratio of 6% Nitrogen, 1.5% Phosphorus and 3% Potassium is balanced for the specific demands of buxus growth. Nitrogen at the higher ratio drives the vigorous new shoot production and intense green colouration that buxus is valued for. Phosphorus builds the strong root system that anchors the plant and supports consistent uptake of nutrients and water. Potassium improves the plant's resilience against temperature fluctuation and seasonal stress. Trace elements Copper, Iron and Manganese complete the formula. Iron and Manganese support healthy chlorophyll production for the deep, glossy leaf colour that defines well-maintained topiary. Copper actively supports the plant's natural resistance to fungal disease – a critical protective factor for buxus varieties that are vulnerable to box blight in UK conditions. EXCEPTIONAL VALUE – MAKES UP TO 225 LITRES One 1-litre bottle dilutes to make up to 225 litres of feed solution. Applied every two to four weeks throughout the growing season from early spring to late summer, a single bottle provides the complete annual feeding programme for most buxus hedges and container topiary. WHERE TO USE Box hedges and formal hedging in garden borders, ball, cone and spiral topiary in pots and containers, structured buxus planting in raised beds, patio planters and courtyard gardens. Particularly effective for container-grown topiary where restricted compost volumes deplete rapidly with regular watering. HOW TO APPLY Dilute concentrate with water per label instructions. Apply to the soil around the base of the plant using a standard watering can. Feed every two to four weeks from early spring through to late summer. For buxus showing signs of stress or nutrient deficiency, begin at the more frequent end of the interval until healthy growth and leaf colour are restored. Suitable for Buxus sempervirens and all buxus species used for hedging, topiary and ornamental planting. Vitax Ltd – British garden care specialists since 1880.
