Green Mountain Boxwood Pom Pom Topiary – 7 Gallon Pot

A soft-textured Boxwood that will grow in sun or mostly shade, ‘Green Mountain’ is a cross between English Boxwood and Asian Boxwood. It was designed to look great while withstanding both cold temperatures and drought in USDA Zones 5-9. It naturally grows in a dense, pyramidal form with little if any pruning necessary, however this is the pom pom topiary form. Foliage is a deep grey-green with lighter color new growth in spring. We planted one of these on either side of the entryway to our office, where they receive morning sun with afternoon shade, and couldn’t be happier with their look and performance. Just one trimming per year is all that’s needed to maintain the pom pom form.

Growing to about 4 to 5 feet in height and 2 to 3 feet wide, the Green Mountain Boxwood pom pom topiary is ideal for use as a focal point in small garden spaces or home foundation plantings. Two can be used to to frame an entryway. Excellent for pots, planters and other containers. A fine addition to topiary gardens, formal gardens, English gardens, and cottage gardens.

The Green Mountain Boxwood pom pom topiary is very easy to grow and requires only one trimming per year to maintain its form. It will grow in a wide range of soils but prefers a moist, well-drained loam in full sun to part shade. In our gardens, we have one growing in almost full shade under a large oak tree and it’s doing fine, though might not be quite as dense as those growing in part shade or sun. When grown in full sun the foliage takes on a bronze cast in winter.
