Planting: \u003c\/strong\u003eChoose a location where your Boxwood will receive full or partial sunlight. If you live in an area that gets very hot, it'll do best when given some afternoon shade.

To help retain moisture in the soil and deter weed growth, apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base of the shrub, extending 12 inches past the foliage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. Watering: \u003c\/strong\u003eWater your Boxwood deeply to ensure the roots are getting adequate moisture. The soil should stay moist but never saturated. Once it's established, it'll need a weekly watering during periods of drought or extreme heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3.

Pruning: \u003c\/strong\u003eThis Boxwood responds well to pruning. During the first two years of growth, prune it to your desired shape before new growth in spring.
