[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.

My Kingsville made it through the winter fine, and is happily growing under lights waiting for warmer temps at night.

For what its worth... I must put in the following experience with a
Kingsville. For two years I would bring my Kingsville into my Greenhouse for the winter, and it di fine. When I finally acclimated the KIngsville for the third season to the outdoors, it just gave up the ghost. It looked fine one day (out doors) and the next day it just declined, I even planted it in the ground, but it never recovered. I have come to the conclusion that it just needed some sort of a dormancy period, and never received it in my heated green house. Carl L.

It was dormant for over a month. This appears to have been enough, because now it is very green and healthy, with lots of new growth.
