Boxwood Care & Maintenance

Baby your Sprinter® in the first season and plant with Nature Hills Root Booster.

  • Sunlight: Boxwood thrives in full sun to partial shade.
  • Soil: Prefers well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil. Avoid areas with poor drainage.
  • Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to establish roots. Mature plants are moderately drought-tolerant but benefit from consistent watering in dry spells.
  • Winter Watering: Give plants subjected to drying northern winds an application of wilt-stop and a long drink before winter to prevent windburn.
  • Pruning: Prune lightly in late spring or early summer after the first flush of growth to maintain shape.
  • Mulching: Apply a 3-4 inch layer of mulch to conserve moisture and protect roots from temperature fluctuations.
