Use Buxus × 'Heritage™' (Boxwood 'Heritage') to bring year-round structure to your landscape with a classic, fine-textured look that responds well to pruning. This evergreen shrub naturally holds a neat habit for hedges, foundation planting, and formal borders while keeping a rich green color through the seasons.
Set plants where they receive morning sun with afternoon shade, or full sun in milder climates. Part shade is ideal in hotter areas to reduce stress and winter burn. Plant in well-drained soil and avoid low spots or downspout areas where water collects, as soggy conditions can lead to root problems.
Water deeply after planting and keep soil evenly moist until established. A 2-3 inch layer of mulch helps conserve moisture and protect shallow roots; keep mulch a few inches back from the stems. Feed lightly in spring if growth looks pale, and thin or shear to maintain shape. Do heavier pruning in late winter or early spring, and avoid late-season pruning that can encourage tender new growth before cold weather.
At maturity, expect a compact shrub about 36-48 inches tall. Use it as a clipped hedge, a low screen, or repeated accents for clean lines in beds and along walkways.
