Excellent editor's pick
Saw this labeled as an Editor's Pick and decided to try it. No regrets. The foliage is dense, and the small-leaf variety is perfect for detailed shaping.

Great value for money
Buying bare root saved me a lot compared to potted plants at the local nursery. They took a few days to perk up after watering, but now they are thriving.

Perfect for my front yard border
These saplings arrived in great condition. The roots were well-wrapped and moist. I planted them immediately as a border for my walkway, and they are already showing new growth after two weeks.

Fast shipping and healthy plants
Shipping was faster than expected. The packaging protected the saplings well. I've used these for a privacy screen project, and they are filling in nicely.

Survived the frost!
I was worried about planting these late in the season, but they are truly cold-resistant. We had a unexpected frost last week, and the boxwoods look just as green as day one.

Good quality, mixed sizes
The plants are healthy and vibrant. Just note that the 'mixed' variety means some are slightly smaller than others, but overall a solid purchase for a natural look.
Q: Do these come with soil or are they bare root?
A: These saplings are shipped as bare root plants to ensure freshness and reduce shipping weight. Please soak the roots in water for a few hours before planting.
Q: How far apart should I plant these for a hedge?
A: For a dense hedge, we recommend spacing the saplings about 12 to 18 inches apart. This allows room for growth while ensuring they fill in quickly.
Q: When is the best time of year to plant these?
A: The ideal times are early spring or early fall when the weather is mild. However, since these are cold-resistant, they can also be planted in late winter if the ground is workable.
Q: Can these be grown in large pots on a patio?
A: Yes, boxwoods grow very well in containers. Just ensure the pot has good drainage holes and use a high-quality potting mix suitable for shrubs.
Q: Is there a difference in care between the small-leaf and large-leaf varieties included?
A: No, both varieties included in this pack have similar care requirements regarding sun, water, and soil. The main difference is aesthetic and growth rate.
