About The Sprinter® Boxwood
Sprinter® Boxwood: Fast-Growing & Effortless
If you love the timeless look of boxwood but don't want to wait years for a full hedge, the Sprinter® Boxwood is ready to pick up the pace. Bred as an improved version of the classic Winter Gem Boxwood, this selection grows faster than comparable varieties while maintaining the dense, tidy appearance that makes boxwoods a landscape favorite.
Its naturally upright habit and rich evergreen foliage fill in quickly, creating polished hedges, foundation plantings, borders, and formal gardens with less effort. Sprinter® keeps its neat shape without constant trimming, giving you the manicured look you want while cutting back on maintenance. It's also deer resistant, making it a dependable choice in areas where browsing can be a problem.
Whether planted as a low hedge, used to frame entryways, or featured in mixed landscape beds, Sprinter® Boxwood delivers year-round structure and vibrant green color. It also adapts well to containers, making it an excellent choice for patios, porches, and entryways where evergreen interest is welcome throughout the seasons.
