Ideal for shaded spots with fragrant blooms
The Sweet & Lo™ Sweet Box is the perfect addition for anyone looking to elevate the beauty of shaded areas in their landscape. Its evergreen nature ensures that your yard maintains visual interest year-round, while its deer-resistant qualities make it a practical choice for gardens that may be prone to wildlife intrusion. This adaptable shrub thrives even in the depths of shade, where many plants struggle to grow, allowing you to bring life to those tricky spots that often feel neglected.
One of the standout features of this shrub is its delicate, thread-like flowers that bloom in late winter to early spring, filling the air with a pleasant fragrance. These charming blooms attract pollinators, making it not only a beautiful addition but also a friendly environment for beneficial wildlife. By planting this shrub, you're not just enhancing your landscape; you're contributing to a more vibrant ecosystem in your neighborhood.
About Proven Winners®: Proven Winners® ColorChoice Shrubs offers flowering shrubs, evergreens, and trees that have been tested for eight to ten years to ensure they outperform conventional varieties. That means bigger flowers, more colorful foliage, reblooming, disease resistance, new habits, or anything that makes them more beautiful and easier to grow in your landscape or garden.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Select a location with well-draining soil and partial to full shade. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and place the plant at the same depth it was grown in its container.
2. Watering: Water your Sweet Box regularly during the first year to help establish deep roots. Once established, it’s drought-tolerant but appreciates occasional watering during prolonged dry spells.
3. Pruning: Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage fuller growth. Remove any dead or damaged branches to promote healthy development.
4. Fertilizing: Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer to support growth and blooming. Follow package instructions for appropriate amounts.
