Description

Highlander Boxwood delivers a modern, upright form that provides a beautiful, year-round presence in the landscape. Its finely textured, rich green foliage keeps a fresh appearance throughout the seasons, creating a refined backdrop for flowering companions or a stunning standalone display. This selection is known to be deer-resistant, lending peace of mind when designing low-maintenance plantings. It also adapts well to containers, where its neat structure brings a satisfying and refreshed look to entryways and patios.

General Care

  • Sunlight: Performs best in full sun to partial shade, requiring at least 4–6 hours of direct light each day.
  • Soil: Prefers well-drained, moderately fertile soil; adding organic matter to heavier soils enhances drainage and overall health.
  • Watering: Keep evenly moist during the establishment phase. Once mature, Highlander Boxwood tolerates short dry spells but benefits from regular watering in extended heat.
  • Mulching: A 2–3 inch layer of mulch helps maintain consistent moisture and temperature levels around the roots; keep mulch slightly away from the stems.
  • Pruning: Light pruning in late spring or early summer refines its shape and encourages dense, magnificent foliage.

Highlander Boxwood stands out as a gorgeous, upright evergreen that offers a grand combination of texture, interest, and versatility—perfect for adding refreshing structure to Michigan landscapes.
