Know before you buy
The shrub typically ships at a height of 12 to 16 inches. It is a slow-growing plant, so you can expect it to gradually fill in over time as it matures.
Yes, Japanese Boxwood is widely considered deer-resistant. While no plant is 100% deer-proof, the foliage of this variety is generally unappealing to deer, making it a reliable choice for landscapes where browsing is a concern.
Absolutely. This shrub is versatile and thrives in conditions ranging from full sun to part shade. Just ensure it receives adequate water while it is getting established in its new location.
To create a dense, continuous hedge, space your shrubs about 2 to 3 feet apart. This allows enough room for the plants to grow together without overcrowding as they reach their mature size.
It is quite low-maintenance. Once established, the Japanese Boxwood is remarkably drought-tolerant and maintains a compact, evergreen structure that requires minimal care beyond occasional pruning to maintain your desired shape.
