Boxwoods are profusely branched,
fine-textured evergreens ideal for
hedges & foundation plantings.
- prefer partial shade & a fertile soil.
- have shallow roots, so should be
mulched well & watered if soil dries.
- respond very well to pruning;
do hard, rejuvenating pruning in Spring
followed by a dose of fertilizer.
- extra bonus: deer don’t like!
