This boxwood prefers well-draining soil After planting the Winterstar Boxwood, we recommend watering until established, traditionally this takes at least 3-months. This will help your plant access water that resides deeper in the soil, making it more capable of withstanding droughts. Check your plant regularly during this time to ensure that the soil isn’t dry or soggy. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer for best results. Space Your Winterstar Boxwood 2-3 ft. apart for a seamless planting. Otherwise, plant them 3 plus feet apart to leave space between shrubs.
