Timeless, Evergreen Beauty

Boxwoods are one of the most popular shrubs in landscaping — always green, always classic, and always versatile. At Courville Nurseries, we have thousands of Boxwoods in stock, ready for projects of every size.

Why People Choose Boxwoods

  • They stay green all year long, bringing life to gardens even in winter. 
  • They can be shaped or left natural, working in both formal and casual settings. 
  • They are adaptable, tolerating sun, partial shade, and a variety of soils. 
  • They are known for their long lifespan, often lasting decades.

How Boxwoods Are Commonly Used

  • Hedges along walkways, fences, or property lines
  • Foundation plantings to frame the front of a house or building
  • Borders that add structure to gardens and beds
  • Containers and pots for patios, porches, or entryways

Planting & Care Tips

  • Planting location - Choose well-drained soil; avoid areas where water collects.
  • Sun & shade - They thrive in partial sun but will tolerate full sun or light shade.
  • Watering - Water deeply after planting and during dry spells. Let the soil dry slightly between waterings.
  • Mulching - A layer of mulch helps conserve moisture and protect roots but keep mulch a few inches away from the trunk.
  • Pruning - Light yearly pruning keeps them neat and encourages dense growth.
  • Winter care - In windy or exposed areas, a burlap wrap can reduce winter leaf burn.

What To Know About Boxwoods

  • Boxwood Blight - A fungal disease in overly wet or crowded plantings. Healthy, locally grown stock and good spacing help prevent it.
  • Root Rot - Caused by poor drainage. Plant in soil that doesn’t stay soggy.
  • Leafminer - An insect that may cause minor leaf damage. Regular monitoring and trimming keep it under control.
  • Winter Burn - Sun and wind in late winter can bronze the leaves. Mulch and burlap wraps help protect plants.
