Description
If you’re looking to put an exclamation point on your landscape look no further than the Graham Blandy, an upright growing Boxwood with a distinct, tight, columnar form. If left to grow naturally with no pruning, Graham Blandy might reach 15 feet tall and 18 to 24 inches wide over time, however can be maintained at 5 feet tall with occasional pruning at the top.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 12 to 15 feet tall (5 feet with occasional pruning) and 18 to 24 inches wide, the Dee Graham Blandy Boxwood is ideal for use as a vertical accent in the landscape. It is perfect for filling those narrow spaces where height is needed in foundation plantings or as a tight, narrow hedge where space is limited. Also very nice as a centerpiece in container gardens, just make sure the pot drains well. A fine addition to formal gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 15 to 18 inches apart for solid hedges; 4 feet or more apart for space between plants
Growing Preferences
The Graham Blandy Boxwood is exceptionally easy to grow when planted right and in the right spot. It adapts to most soil types, preferring a moist but well drained soil of average fertility. As with so many other plants, a constantly soggy or wet soil can be problematic. It prefers mostly sun but will tolerate some shade. In our gardens, we’ve found it to have exceptional drought, heat, disease and pest resistance. Responds well to pruning.
