Classic Reliability and Green Growth

Why American Boxwood Shrubs?

As American as baseball and apple pie, the American Boxwood Shrub is one of the most reliable plants you can have. For starters, you can shape it and grow it any way you like. Planted in a row, it's a spectacular foundation hedge, or you can line it in front of your porch for added privacy and year-round foliage. It responds well to pruning and can be shaped into a topiary or bonsai for deck or patio dƩcor.

Plus, it's known for its extremely dense foliage. In fact, it can also act as a natural privacy fence. Especially since it's remains an evergreen ornamental throughout the year, with tiny pale green flowers in spring set against a bed of lovely dark green leaves that are oblong and glossy. It's a healthy specimen that performs well, even in cold temperatures.

Looking Good

Wasn't so sure when the boxes arrived. FedEx did a good job of delaying and then beating them up before they made it to our place. However, all the plants were there and in good shape. We had them out in partial shade for a few days before planting and they puffed out nicely. Just got them in the ground yesterday, so there's no way of knowing if they'll make it at this point. The guarantee gives us a bit more peace of mind.
