Buxus semp. 'Green Mountain'

Boxwood (Buxus sempervirens 'Green Velvet') is best grown in evenly moist, well-drained loams in full sun to part shade. Plants will grow well in a variety of part shade situations, including open sun-dappled conditions or light shade with several hours of morning sun or early afternoon sun. Pruning should never be done prior to the last spring frost date. Thin plants and remove dead/damaged branches annually to improve air circulation. Boxwood is best sited in locations sheltered from strong winds, with, if possible, some protection from full winter sun. Carefully remove heavy snow accumulations as quickly as practicable to minimize stem/branch damage.
