Protecting your Boxwoods from the Winter Cold | Platt Hill Nursery | Blog & Advice

Boxwoods suffer from extreme Chicagoland winter temperatures. To help prevent and minimize winter burn on your boxwoods and evergreens this winter, Platt Hill Nursery recommends spraying your boxwoods with ‘Wilt Stop’. The product is a natural pine oil emulsion that will provide a protective coating on the boxwood leaves preventing the hedge from drying out in the wind wind or becoming a victim of winter burn.

Apply ‘Wilt Stop’ before our Chicagoland gets too cold. Spray the leaves until they are dripping with the product to maximize its effectiveness. If you have a large hedge of boxwood shrubs, we recommend the ready-to-use bottle that connects directly to your garden hose for easy use and maximum coverage.

Platt Hill Nursery sells ‘Wilt Stop’ in ready-to-use spray bottles and concentrates. The product can be used on fresh-cut Christmas trees, wreaths, roping and/or garland to keep them fresh and green longer!
