Alyxia buxifolia, commonly known as Sea Box, is a shrub with small glossy leaves and fragrant white flowers. It is a popular choice for landscaping due to its compact size and ability to thrive in a variety of growing conditions. Box-leaf alyxia can be used as a hedge, border, or specimen plant, and is particularly effective in coastal gardens as it is tolerant of salt spray and wind. Its delicate flowers attract pollinators and its foliage provides year-round interest.
