Shipping Details

Boxwoods are among the most popular evergreen shrubs, especially for using as a low, tidy hedge or in topiaries. The lustrous, fine-textured dark-green foliage is a floral arranging favorite for cuttings too. Perfect as a garden perimeter or along a fence. Or skip the fence and use boxwood as a natural low barrier if that’s conducive to your space. Also handsomely accents entryways, walkways, or foundation beds. Use as a dependable backdrop for wonderful pops of flowery color from neighboring annuals and perennials. With its easy “shearability,” boxwoods can be hedged into a variety of forms, complemented by colorful companion plants such as begonias, daylilies, and roses. Another option is contrasting boxwood with evergreen shrubs that offer color or textural contrast. Grows to 4’ to 5’ high and wide. Best grown in evenly moist, well-drained soils. Needs less water once established. Provide full to part sun. Feed in spring with an all-purpose fertilizer. Hardy to Zone 6/-10 degrees F.

Lowes does not consider this shrub as a shrub

Would Not Recommend

While shrubs have a 1 year return policy at Lowes, this shrub for some reason is not considered a shrub and only has a 90 day return policy. I planted these in the fall, they seemed to be growing, but after the winter they did not green up and grow this spring, so I tried to return these shrubs due to the 1 year return policy on shrubs only to be told these shrubs are not shrubs in the eyes of Lowes' return policy. And they arrived smaller than the pictures, I should have just returned them then...
