Growing instructions: Boxwoods are versatile evergreen shrubs that can be planted in sun to shade. When planting, amend the soil with compost. Plant slightly higher than the soil level of the container and mulch with 1-2″ of a nice hardwood mulch to help retain moisture. Boxwoods prefer slightly acidic to neutral soil. Boxwoods may be pruned after spring frost danger has passed, typically around mid-April in St. Louis. Keep well watered when establishing the plant. Even though it is tolerant of drought, Wee Willie Dwarf Boxwood benefits from a good soaking during prolonged dry weather.
