I'm planting dwarf boxwoods as a border around my flower beds. how far apart should i plant them?
Question:i want it to look like one solid line of hedge. i know it will take awhile for it to grow like that but to get started i just need to know how far apart to plant them.
Answers:
For quick results, 12 inches though you must be prepared to maintain them. Standard would be closer to 18 inches.
look it up on google
It depends on how big they will get. The height doesn't really matter, but the spread is what you need to know. It should tell you on the plant identifier tag. Usually, a distance of 15" - 18" is good if you are planting them from a 1 gal. pot size. This will allow for growing room and being at this distance apart, will develop a closed hedge sooner. If they are a smaller specimen, move the distance to about 12" apart. Try to go by what the spread of growth will be. The 15" - 18" distance is a safe bet though. You can prune them up as they grow in between the gaps. However, don't prune the sides to allow them to hook up.. Hope this answers your question.. Good Luck!
