| Care Instructions | Thrives in enriched, well-drained, lightly acidic soils. Mulch root zone to conserve moisture and keep roots cool. Protect from drying winter winds to reduce tip dieback. Water deeply, regularly in first growing season to establish root system; reduce frequency once established. Fertilize in early spring. Prune as needed to shape. |
| History | This is a hybrid boxwood cultivar that resulted from the cross of the Asian B. microphylla var koreana with the European B. sempervirens. It is one of the Sheridan Green Series introduced by Sheridan Nurseries of Ontario, Canada. Boxwood is so named because its very hard wood was valued in ancient times for making boxes and small containers. |
