Collection: Boxwood

Timeless Elegance & Formal Structure

Boxwoods are the quintessential evergreen shrubs for formal landscapes, delivering year-round structure, fine-textured foliage, and unmatched versatility. From low hedges and parterres to foundation plantings and topiary specimens, our boxwood selection includes proven cultivars that thrive across diverse conditions—offering reliable performance, deer resistance, and the refined elegance that has defined gardens for centuries.

Why Boxwoods Excel

• Year-round presence: Dense evergreen foliage provides consistent color and structure through all seasons
• Shearing tolerance: Responds beautifully to pruning for formal hedges, geometric shapes, and topiary forms
• Design versatility: Low edging, foundation plantings, parterres, mass plantings, or sculpted specimens
• Proven durability: Deer-resistant, cold-hardy, and adaptable to sun or partial shade conditions

Selection & Placement

Choose varieties based on mature size and growth habit. Dwarf cultivars suit low edging and knot gardens, while larger varieties excel as foundation plants or privacy hedges. Plant in well-drained soil. Space according to mature width for hedges or allow room for natural form in specimen plantings.

Care Essentials

Plant in well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral soil. Water consistently during establishment and through dry periods—boxwoods have shallow root systems that benefit from regular moisture. Mulch to retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and protect roots. Prune in late spring after new growth hardens off or maintain formal shapes with light shearing throughout the growing season. Avoid heavy pruning into old wood, which may not regenerate. Monitor for boxwood blight in humid climates and ensure good air circulation.
