One Year Update of my Wintergreen Boxwoods with Pictures
I wanted to provide an update with pics as it has been about one year since I planted these (see my review dated June 21, 2023). They have put on some amazing growth, the color is amazing and the plants continue to thrive and are very healthy. I am planning a small hedge here and I have some marigolds planted in between until these fill out some more. Thanks PP (I just ordered some more limelight prime hydrangeas from you guys this week).
The plants were very well-packaged and appeared quite healthy. so far, so good.
