Looking for a versatile hedge or border plant that can deliver a traditional look or a colorful contemporary shape? Tide Hill Boxwood is the perfect choice! If shaped, it makes an outstanding traditional hedge, or if left alone, it will develop a spreading, open habit that makes a beautiful backdrop for any landscape design. This dense, dwarf, spreading boxwood is very well branched and will deliver versatile looks depending on your preference. Tide Hill Boxwood’s shiny foliage begins as chartreuse in the early spring and turns a rich, deep green mid-growing season.
This evergreen shrub is hardy from zone 5-8. Tide Hill Boxwood is easy to grow and low maintenance and will provide your garden with color year round! Tide Hill Boxwood is a good choice for low, formal hedges. The plant is also excellent in mass plantings or as a container plant. Tide Hill Boxwood is deer resistant.
Tide Hill Boxwood Care
Tide Hill Boxwood prefers full sun and can tolerate part shade. Do not plant or place containers in very hot or dry locations with direct afternoon sun. They prefer relatively sheltered locations from sun and wind. Tide Hill Boxwood prefers well-drained soil with average-to-moist conditions and can tolerate a range of pH levels. These plants have a shallow root system, so be careful not to disturb the soil too much around the plant.
If given enough sun, this boxwood can be grown indoors as the spiller feature in a combination planter. Tide Hill Boxwood is very tolerant of pruning and shearing. Prune in late winter or early spring to create a tighter, more dense plant. Choosing not to prune allows the plant to creep and trail more. Give your Tide Hill Boxwood a thick layer of mulch to prepare for the winter, and water it regularly until the ground freezes.
Tide Hill Boxwood Spacing
Tide Hill Boxwood can reach 24 inches tall with a spread of 4 feet. These plants are slow growers; space plants 3-4 feet apart to allow adequate space for plants to reach maturity.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
