Introducing Buxus Neatball - the ultimate tidy, dense, globe-like boxwood (Buxus ×) that adds structure and year-round evergreen color to your garden. It's improved from the classic 'Green Velvet', holding its deep green foliage without bronzing or browning. Perfect for USDA Zones 4b-9 and available in 2 1/4", 4", and Quick Turn liner sizes.
Soil
Boxwood prefers neutral to alkaline soil; well-drained soils are a must. Benefits greatly from a 1" layer of mulch. Avoid compacted sites.
Pruning
Boxwood does not typically require pruning as a matter of course, but if plants are being used for clipped hedging or topiary, do so in late spring or early summer, after the new growth has emerged. Avoid cutting into thick stems.
Uses
Hedges; borders; foundation plantings.
Growing Tips
Boxwood is one of the most shade tolerant and deer resistant shrubs. Minimize winter damage by providing late season irrigation if weather is dry, and installing a layer of mulch. This is especially recommended for plants spending winter in containers.
