Planting & Care

Sprinter® Boxwood shrubs grow best in well-drained soil with full sun to partial shade. Dig a planting hole about the same depth as the root ball and roughly twice as wide, then backfill with native soil and water thoroughly to settle the roots. During the first growing season, consistent watering helps establish a strong root system. Once established, this boxwood becomes relatively low maintenance and can be lightly pruned as needed to maintain a tidy hedge or formal shape.
