Feed in spring and water well while it establishes, including in winter after a long, sunny frost. Prune at the end of July or early August on an overcast day, cutting the new shoots back by about half. It also grows well as a ball or pyramid in a pot, next to lavender or sage on a terrace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBefore you buy: box moth and box blight\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCommon box is susceptible to box blight (a fungal disease) and to the box tree moth, which have damaged many box hedges across Europe. That is not a reason to avoid it, but inspect plants regularly from spring to autumn and act early if you see webbing, caterpillars or browning.
