QUICK REFERENCE PLANTING GUIDE
We recommend having your soil tested periodically by
your local County Extension Office (www.nifa.usda.gov/
extension or by calling 1-800-333-4636). A soil test can
determine if your soil needs any amendments to enhance
the growth and performance of your plants.
Ideal garden soil is easy to dig in and drains well while still
holding the nutrients and water vital to plant growth. To
prepare a bed for in-ground planting, spade or till the soil
to a depth of roughly 12-18 inches. Next, spread a 2-4 inch
layer of organic matter such as compost, shredded leaves
or peat moss over the soil and mix well.
SOIL PREPARATION
BOXWOOD
Thank you for your
order!
This incredibly versatile shrub offers year-round
beauty with rich green foliage that holds its color
even in frigid winter weather. Its petite, oval-
shaped leaves emerge bright green then darken
with age, adorning each branch with delicate
greenery. Boxwood can be trimmed and shaped
as desired to create the perfect complement for
your landscape.
