#ProPlantTips for Care:
Boxwood needs full sun for the densest greenest growth. Provide a location with well-drained soil and regular moisture, needing less moisture once established. All plants appreciate being planted with the life-long support of Nature Hills Root Booster.
People are curious about when to trim Boxwoods, but it's easy! Simply prune your shrub after the first flush of growth in the late spring to keep that formal look. If left untrimmed, it has a classic free-form growth!
It is best to mulch to keep the root system cool and moist, the evergreen foliage needs to be protected from drying winds, especially in colder growing zones. Water evergreens in the fall to help prevent windburn, and spray with wilt-stop according to package directions.
- Full Sun & Partial Shade Evergreens
- Moderate Moisture Needs
- Highly Adaptable - Any Well-Drained Soil Type
- Prune Or Shear After Flowering/First Flush of Growth
- Deer, Rabbit, Insect & Pest Resistant
