Boxwood Green Mountain Shrubs for Sale Online
The Green Mountain Boxwood is one of the easiest of the boxwood varieties to grow. Their handsome green-colored foliage and non-aggressive root systems make them ideal for foundation plantings or along sidewalks and walkways.
Botanically referred to as 'Buxus Sempervirens,' the Green Mountain Boxwood is known for its natural pyramidal form that is very easy to maintain with no pruning. Ideal care for these easy going shrubs includes partial sun to full shade and a well draining soil blend. These Boxwood plants also prefer soils with a pH of slightly acidic to slightly alkaline.
In addition to its low maintenance care regimen, the Green Mountain is praised for its impressive resistance to deer and rabbit populations. Not to mention these plants rarely suffer from Boxwood Blight and have strong leaf spot resistance qualities.
While the dark green foliage is cold-hardy, it may suffer from some winter bronzing when grown in the full sun or not protected from winter winds. But not to worry, this quickly turns green as the new growth appears in early spring.
These popular Evergreen shrubs are ideal for planting at the entrance to your property or a walkway. Additionally, they are great for use as hedges, as well as in mass plantings and topiary gardens.
