Default [IBC] Boxwood - Indoors

Has anyone on the list had any experience with keeping boxwood indoors?

It depends on which species, but they all need a cool rest. I leave Kingsville
box outdoors until the first frost warning, then grow it under lights for the
winter. It does fine.

Same here. Thanks again Iris, for the suggestion. My Kingsville made it through
the winter fine, and is happily growing under lights waiting for warmer temps at
night.
