Japanese Boxwood | 10 Live 4 Inch Pots | Low Maintenance Hedge

About this item

• Makes an excellent medium to large hedge, and appears to be quite easy to grow.
• This evergreen shrub needs a regular water schedule to ensure the growth of a mature root system. The first year of growth requires watering daily. After the mature root system is established, watering is needed weekly, except during a drought, watering is needed regularly. Mulching is recommended to detour weeds, and to keep the moisture content high. During plant maturity pruning is necessary to encourage branch development.
• The oval shaped leaves of this vibrant green plant are larger than those of the typical hybrid boxwoods used in landscapes. It is a great option for a medium to large hedge and is simple to cultivate. Similar to other boxwoods, it thrives in cool, moist, well-drained soil with a bit of shade to shield it from harsh summer sunlight.
• For maximum health & hardiness, we highly recommend a good grade granular ( preferably organic ) fertilizer plant food for use with all of our plant species.
• This compact evergreen shrub produces inconspicuous white flowers in spring. In the winter, its oval leaves turn golden to bronze. Matures to 4-6 feet. There are stunning shapes this shrub may be shaped into like globes, pyramids, and screens.
