Renaissance Boxwood (Buxus Hybrid ‘HER200B01’ PP32274) adds a refined touch to your garden or patio. Its compact form, usually reaching around 1 to 2 feet in height and width, fits perfectly in small spaces or as a polished accent. The foliage remains fresh and consistently green, creating an attractive backdrop for flowers or other evergreens. This low-growing boxwood often requires minimal pruning to maintain its neat shape, making it a favorite among time-conscious gardeners. It excels in defining walkways, borders, or patios with an understated sense of order.
A broad range of planting possibilities opens up with Renaissance Boxwood. This hardy shrub tolerates partial sun or morning light, thriving in USDA Zones 5 through 9. Its improved tolerance to diseases translates into fewer maintenance headaches and a tidier appearance throughout the year. Ideal uses include low hedges, knot gardens, mass plantings, and container displays. It was developed specifically for modern landscapes that appreciate evergreen beauty and resilience.
Renaissance Boxwood Care
Provide Renaissance Boxwood with well-drained soil and plenty of organic matter. Regular watering is essential during the first growing season to ensure healthy root establishment, though the soil should not remain overly damp. A slightly alkaline to neutral pH range—approximately 6.5 to 7.2—helps these plants reach their best growth potential. Filtered sun or partial shade generally works best, though they can handle full sun if they’re not exposed to extreme heat. An application of balanced fertilizer once per year in early spring encourages lush foliage and steady growth.
Prune these shrubs sparingly, as Renaissance tends to maintain a tidy profile on its own. If pruning is necessary, do so in late winter or early spring when the plant is dormant. Light trims can also be made after new growth has hardened, preserving the plant’s natural compactness. Container care and overwintering might involve moving pots to a sheltered area to protect roots from severe cold, especially in the colder edges of its hardiness range.
Renaissance Boxwood Spacing
When establishing a hedge or border, position each Renaissance Boxwood about 18 to 24 inches from the next to encourage a seamless, full appearance. For stand-alone plantings or accent groupings, allow a bit more distance—perhaps 24 to 30 inches—so each individual stands out. If planting in containers, choose a pot at least a few inches wider than the root ball to accommodate gradual root expansion, and refresh the potting mix annually for best results.
