Pruning for the Holidays12/21/2011 Boxwood is a versatile evergreen for holiday decorating. It makes an excellent winter wreath that preserves its freshness weeks after Christmas. I prune my boxwood hedges in late November and early December to make wreaths and centerpieces. Before temperatures drop below freezing, fill several containers with cuttings to use throughout the season. Clip boxwood before the leaves darken (they may turn a brownish color during cooler months), and store for several weeks keeping them watered often. When the weather outside is frightful, you'll be making arrangements that are so delightful singing, "let it snow...let it snow...let it snow!" Below are a few projects utilizing boxwood greens available on our website. H O L I D A Y B O X W O O D P R O J E C T S C r e a t e T h e s e D e s i g n s T o d a y Comments Comments are closed. |
