Description
With a distinct columnar form, the Dee Runk Boxwood is an evergreen shrub that will be an exclamation point in your landscape! Dee Runk is an excellent cultivar selected and grown for its form, deep green lustrous foliage that retains its color right through winter, and its ability to thrive in a variety of site conditions. It tends to be full all the way to the ground and is suitable for planting under power lines. An excellent choice for narrow hedges and screens to 10 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing 8 to 10 feet tall and 2 feet wide in a naturally upright habit and narrow form with no pruning, the Dee Runk Boxwood is ideal for use as a vertical exclamation point anywhere in the sunny to partially shaded landscape. Great for those narrow spots in home foundation plants planted in the ground or in well-draining pots. Also ideal as a narrow hedge where space is limited. A fine addition to formal gardens.
Suggested Spacing: 18 inches apart for solid hedges; 4 feet or more apart for space between plants
Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 6a, where this Boxwood variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.
Growing Preferences
The Dee Runk Boxwood is exceptionally easy to grow when planted right and in the right spot. It adapts to most soil types, preferring a moist but well drained soil of average fertility. As with so many other plants, a constantly soggy or wet soil can be problematic. It prefers mostly sun but will tolerate some shade. In our gardens, we’ve found it to have exceptional drought, heat, disease and pest resistance. Responds well to pruning.

I have one Dee Runk Boxwood and need an additional one to flank my deck stairs. Our local nurseries do not have much of a selection out of the ordinary and the Dee Runk is tough to find. I have not bought plants on line and was a bit hesitant. Wilson’s was the only place I could find this particular boxwood. I would have preferred the 3 gallon planting but they were sold out.
They had only a few of the one gallon plants left & I took a chance & purchased the plant. It arrived within 7 days of order. It was well secured within the box, arriving in perfect condition. I planted it immediately. It seems to appreciate its new location as it is growing and appears very healthy.
I have found Wilson’s communication very attentive and customer service oriented. They seem determined to insure customer satisfaction. I am very definitely pleased with my purchase experience and would recommend them to anyone seeking a quality landscape product.——————————————————————–We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come!
