About Boxwoods
Boxwoods
Boxwoods are one of many broad-leaved evergreens popular in the
Landscape. Boxwoods can be true aristocrats of your landscape.
These plants require little attention and develop into
long-lived hardy plants with a little protection just being
mindful of their preferences for conditions. Avoid sites that
have wide fluctuations in temperature,long dry periods, drying
winds, and intense bright sunshine. These evergreens are well
worth your efforts. In return these plants are naturally
offensive to deer. Some people say they smell like cat...
Liberal use in your landscape makes your garden less attractive
for the deer. Boxwoods drop few leaves at any one time making
them a clean plant with little mess. Boxwoods seldom become
overgrown and are relatively pest and disease free. The Korean
boxwoods are the most cold resistant. These plants love a rich,
well drained soil. Using aged compost to modify the soils helps
improve poor existing soils. Protect the boxwoods from winter
injury by planting them on the protected north and east sides
of
buildings or where they will receive wind protection from
natural features such as other trees or embankments. Fertilize
boxwoods only in the spring. Avoid winter scorch on plants by
watering if rainfall is deficient. Plant larger plants if you
expect winter hardyness to be a factor. Large plants have more
reserves and can usually survive the first year after purchase
better. Boxwoods will add year round interest to your landscape
when located properly and provide contrast within your landscape
in all seasons.
