Boxwood Sprinter® 10 Gallon

Buxus microphylla spp.

Sprinter® is an improved, faster-growing form of 'Winter Gem'. Its glossy evergreen foliage is attractive year-roud, and it holds up well to winter weather. The upright habit of 'Sprinter' is also ideally suited for low heding and landscaping. It is hardier than English boxwood and also disease resistant. Plant in well-drained, amended soil. Water well after planting; maintain 1" of water once a week the first year. Little pruning needed; shapes itself nicely. Remove dead branches trunk suckers or shear any time. When necessary, prune in spring to early summer. Fertilize in early spring, mid-summer and fall with an acidic fertilizer. Follow label instructions. Mulch 2" to suppress weeds, retain moisture and protect against extremes of soil temperature. Wrap in burlap or spray with Wilt-stop to protect from winter desiccation.
