Calgary Boxwood
Buxus ‘Calgary’
Shrub: Boxwood
| Height: 2-3′ | Width: 2-3′ |
| Sun: Full to Part Shade | Zone: 3 |
Prairie hardy selection with a compact, low, rounded form; a broadleaf evergreen. Small, dense, glossy, dark green foliage lightens overwinter. Inconspicuous, pale yellow spring flowers. Good for a low hedge in a sheltered area or as a specimen plant. In zone 3, plant boxwood in a wind and sun sheltered site, and where it will have good snowcover throughout winter. Needs soil to be moist and cool: mulch around base of plant. Fertilize in spring with a good compost or all purpose fertilizer before new growth emerges. Little pruning necessary: if needed prune in late winter/early spring to remove winter dieback or to shape by shearing.
Available in select potted sizes.
