About This Plant
Built for modern landscapes, this vigorous evergreen combines lush, glossy foliage with outstanding resistance to common boxwood diseases and pests. Its naturally dense, rounded habit makes it an excellent choice for hedges, foundation plantings, and formal gardens, where it provides year-round structure with less maintenance. Tough, dependable, and richly green through the seasons, it's a reliable upgrade to traditional boxwoods.
Planting & Care
How to Plant
Choose a spot with 3–6 hours of sun, ideally morning sun. Dig a hole 2–3 times as wide as the pot but no deeper, with the top of the root ball slightly above ground level. Loosen circling roots and backfill with the native soil. Water deeply after planting and add 2–3 in of mulch, keeping it off the stems. Hardy in USDA zones 5-9.
Watering & Feeding
Water deeply 1–2 times a week for the first season, about 1 in per week. Once established, it's drought tolerant and only needs water during long dry spells. Feed once in early spring with a slow-release shrub fertilizer.
Pruning & Seasonal Care
Prune in late winter or early spring, before new growth begins. Remove dead or damaged branches any time. Mulch in late fall to protect roots through the first winter.
