2.5 Qt. Wintergreen Boxwood, Live Shrub Plant, Glossy Dark Green Foliage

Description

Wintergreen Boxwoods have a medium to slow growth habit that makes them perfect for a low maintenance hedge or border. Wintergreen tends to be smaller than their cousin the Japanese Boxwood. These evergreen bushes look great all year round with fresh lighter colored leaves in spring that will fade into a uniform green with summer. Boxwoods are noted for their high tolerance for harsh conditions and their ability to withstand heavy pruning.

• Remains hardy in USDA zones 4-9
• Plant in full sun to partial sun conditions in well draining alkaline soil. Well-draining soil is essential as Boxwoods are prone to root rot in poorly-draining soil
• Ideal for pruning and shaping into topiaries, and allow you to make sharp, crisp edges, as well as seamless curves
• Mature sizing: 3-5′ H x 3-5′
• Water regularly during the first growing season. Once established boxwood shrubs are easy to maintain and self sufficient.
• The Wintergreen Boxwood is absolutely perfect for borders, formal hedges and mass plantings.
