Tide Hill Boxwood

Plant in spring or fall in well-drained soil, spacing 18–24 inches apart. Tide Hill is a low-growing, spreading boxwood with a compact, mounding habit that works beautifully as a groundcover or edging plant in formal and informal garden settings. Dig the planting hole to the same depth as the root ball, water thoroughly, and mulch lightly. Keep well watered through the first growing season.

Minimal pruning is needed to maintain the naturally low, spreading form. A light shear in late spring tidies the plant if desired. Good disease resistance. Water during dry summer spells. Apply a slow-release balanced fertilizer in early spring. Tide Hill's low, spreading habit makes it particularly useful as a groundcover alternative to traditional upright boxwoods in formal garden settings.
