Description

Naturally growing in a highly attractive dense pyramidal form with little if any pruning necessary, 'John Baldwin' sports tiny ovate leaves that emerge blue-tinted before maturing to bright blue-green. A slow grower that might reach 4 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide at the base within 10 years or so, this handsome shrub provides excellent form and texture in sunny or shady landscape borders, home foundation plantings and container gardens.  


Landscape & Gardens Uses

Growing naturally in a pyramidal form to about 4 feet in height and 3 to 4 feet wide at the base, the John Baldwin Boxwood is ideal for use as an accent in smaller garden spaces and container gardens or in groupings or as a hedge in larger spaces. Perfect for accentuating or framing small entryways. A fine addition to formal gardens, English gardens, and cottage gardens.

Suggested Spacing:  2 to 2.5 feet apart for solid hedge;  6 feet or more apart for space between plants


Growing Preferences

The John Baldwin Boxwood is very easy to grow and requires little if any pruning to keep its natural pyramidal form. It will grow in a wide range of soils but prefers a moist, well-drained loam in full sun to part shade. To avoid damage to new growth that can be stimulated by pruning, cease pruning two months prior to the average first-frost date in your area.
