Description

An evergreen shrub with a distinct columnar form that will be an exclamation point in your landscape, the Green Tower Boxwood is one that has grown a little faster than other cultivars in our garden, adding about 15 or so inches to its height each year. If left to grow naturally without pruning it might reach 8 to 9 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide at maturity, however can be kept shorter, narrower and tighter with an annual or occasional trimming. Its lustrous dark green leaves and density make Green Tower an excellent selection for a narrow evergreen hedge or screen where space is limited. Also nice for various topiary shapes such as tight columns, narrow pyramids and spiral.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 8 to 9 feet tall and about 2 feet wide in a dense, the Green Tower Boxwood is ideal for use as a single specimen, where it stands out like an exclamation point in your landscape, or in rows as a solid hedge or screen to divide garden spaces or block an unwanted view. It works very well as an accent to fill those narrow spaces or frame corners and entryways in home foundation plantings. Also useful as a centerpiece in pots, planters and other container that are 16 inches or more in diameter. A fine addition to formal and topiary gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 18 inches for solid hedges; 3 feet or more for space between plants

Growing Preferences

The Green Tower Boxwood is easy to grow and adapts to most soil types, preferring a moist but well drained soil of average fertility. As with so many other plants, a constantly soggy or wet soil can be problematic. It prefers mostly sun but will tolerate some shade. In our gardens, we’ve found it to have exceptional drought, heat, disease and pest resistance.
