Boxwoods are easy to grow and plant. The type of soil you have will determine if you need to add plant food or amend the soil. For average soil just dig a hole wider and deeper than the pot, loosen the bottom and sides of the soil then slide the plant out of the pot. Position it in the hole so that it is at the same level it was growing in the container. If the roots are packed solid, score them with a knife to loosen them up. Use the soil you removed from the planting hole to fill in around the new plant but do not stomp on the soft earth with your foot - firm with your hands. If your soil is sandy or clay add compost mixed into the planting hole and the backfill soil. Water slowly and very thoroughly to soak the area. Next add a mulch on top of the roots and keep the soil somewhat moist this summer until the new roots form. You do not need to fertilize unless your soil is very rocky or sandy. Then use a slow release plant food like Osmocote once a year. One more tip - water the potted plants well the night before. To remove from pot hold upside down and knock the edge of the pot on the edge of a wheelbarrow. The boxwood should slide right out. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
