Description
Green Mountain Boxwood is a beautiful broadleaf evergreen distinguished by its upright, pyramidal form and refreshing year-round foliage. Even in Michigan’s winters, it typically maintains a lovely green hue, adding modern structure and textural interest to the landscape. Ideal as an accent, low hedge, or foundation planting, this shrub brings a satisfying element of refinement to both contemporary and traditional designs. Deer typically avoid its aromatic foliage, ensuring it remains a dependable focal point in any setting.
General Care
- Sunlight: Performs best in partial to full sun, receiving at least 4–6 hours of light per day.
- Soil: Prefers slightly acidic to neutral, well-drained soil; incorporating compost can boost fertility and drainage.
- Watering: Water regularly during the first growing season to establish strong roots. Once mature, it tolerates brief dry spells but benefits from consistent moisture.
- Mulching: A 2–3 inch layer of mulch helps conserve moisture and regulate soil temperature. Keep mulch a few inches away from the trunk.
- Pruning: Lightly trim in late spring or early summer to maintain its gorgeous shape, removing any dead or damaged branches if needed.
Green Mountain Boxwood introduces an inspiring, year-round presence to Michigan landscapes, remaining stunning in every season.
