Sprinter Boxwood Quart

Sprinter® Boxwood (Buxus microphylla 'Bulthouse' PP25896 / 'Sprinter®') is the premier fast-growing evergreen for homeowners seeking classic, manicured lines without waiting years for traditional varieties to mature. An improved, vigorous selection of 'Winter Gem', Sprinter® puts on rapid annual growth to close hedge gaps and establish clean foundation borders quickly. Its glossy, rich green foliage holds its color beautifully through summer heat and winter freezes, responding crisply to shearing while remaining naturally resistant to browsing deer.

Why Gardeners Choose Sprinter® Boxwood

• Accelerated growth rate: Grows noticeably faster than standard cultivars—fills out into a dense, solid hedge in a fraction of the time.
• Year-round rich green color: Glossy evergreen foliage maintains deep color and resists winter bronzing far better than older varieties.
• Excellent shearing tolerance: Takes formal trimming, low geometric edges, and soft natural pruning with ease.
• Manageable mature size: Reaches an ideal 2–4 feet tall and wide, making it perfect for tidy foundation plantings and walkways.
• Deer and rabbit resistant: Naturally unpalatable to browsing wildlife, keeping your borders intact year-round.
• Cold hardy to Zone 5: Reliable and resilient across USDA Hardiness Zones 5–8.

Planting & Care

• Light: Full sun to part shade; thrives with morning sun and light afternoon shade in warmer zones.
• Soil: Moist, well-draining soil with a neutral to slightly acidic pH; avoids standing water or waterlogged root zones.
• Spacing: Plant on 2- to 3-foot centers for a continuous, seamless low hedge; space 4 feet apart for distinct individual shrubs.
• Watering: Water thoroughly 1–2 times weekly during the first growing season; requires consistent moisture while establishing deep roots.
• Pruning: Shear lightly in late spring after the initial flush of new growth has hardened off to shape into formal hedges or globes.
