Planting & Care

Plant Green Mountain Boxwood Cone shrubs in a location with full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Dig a hole about two to three times wider than the root ball and just as deep as the container. Position the shrub so the top of the root ball sits level with the surrounding soil, backfill with native soil, and water thoroughly to settle the roots. Apply mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds while keeping mulch a few inches away from the trunk. Water regularly during the establishment period. Light pruning in late winter or early spring can help maintain the plant’s neat conical shape.
