Japanese Boxwood
Shipping & Returns
Shipping live plants sometimes has its challenges when dealing with inclement weather but we strive to have every single order shipped out on their scheduled shipping date. Most orders will be scheduled to ship within 1-2 weeks of ordering. Because a plant needs TLC we only ship out on Mondays-Wednesdays to ensure the plants aren’t stationed somewhere over the weekend with no water or sunlight.
A classic, gorgeous choice for a border or planted closer together as a hedge, the Japanese Boxwood is a common shrub used in a wide variety of landscaping displays. Easy to grow and with a good grow rate so you don’t have to wait a lifetime for them to be the size you want; this particular variety of Boxwood shrub is slightly larger than others and is also a somewhat lighter shade of green than other varieties. Boasting a mature height of 5-6 feet tall and 4-6 feet wide in full sun to partial shade and average, slightly cool and moist soil, growing the Japanese Boxwood is as simple as planting it in the ground and establishing a proper root structure. Not only is the dark green foliage gorgeous all year long, in the Spring, small creamy yellow flowers also develop in small clusters that are surprisingly fragrant for their size.
The Japanese Boxwood offers year-round greenery and is incredibly easy to care for, making it a versatile choice for gardeners of all experience levels. Its compact size, tolerance to pruning, and ability to withstand heat and cold make it a reliable and stylish addition to any landscape. Whether you’re looking for a low hedge, topiary, or an evergreen accent, Japanese Boxwood delivers classic beauty with minimal effort.
