    Description

    The Sprinter® Boxwood (Buxus microphylla 'Bulthouse') is a fast-growing evergreen shrub that offers both beauty and practicality for home gardeners. Originating from the regions of Japan and Taiwan, this boxwood is prized for its ability to maintain a vibrant, deep green color throughout the year. It boasts a compact, rounded form, typically reaching 2-4 feet in height and width, making it perfect for creating neat hedges or as a standalone feature in your garden. The Sprinter® Boxwood thrives in partial to full sun and requires well-drained soil, with moderate watering to keep it healthy. It is hardy across USDA zones 5 to 9, capable of withstanding temperatures as low as -10°F, which means it can flourish in a variety of climates. This low-maintenance plant requires minimal pruning, making it an excellent choice for those who desire an attractive landscape with little effort. Its dense foliage not only adds visual appeal but also provides a natural barrier for privacy and wind protection. Whether used to frame a garden path or as a lush backdrop for colorful blooms, the Sprinter® Boxwood is a versatile addition to any home garden. Historically, boxwoods have been a staple in formal garden designs, admired for their ability to be shaped into intricate topiaries, adding a touch of classic elegance to modern landscapes.

    FAQs

    How do i know the size of the plant?

    As is typical in Nursery and Garden Center sales, the plants are listed by the size of the container in which they are grown. While we are in the process of standardizing how our plants are listed here online, many of them still have the notations from the grower's availability list. Here are some common ones that you will see on our website:

    • 17cm = about 6.5" diameter = 1 gallon container
    • 19cm = about 7.5" diameter = 1 gallon container
    • G1 = 1 gallon container
    • G2 = 2 gallon container
    • G3 = 3 gallon container

    The size of the actual plant will vary greatly based on the plant, season, and growing stage. In some cases we can provide some more details from the grower as requested.
