More about this plant

An improved, fast growing form of Winter Gem boxwood reaching 2 to 4 feet tall and wide, with shiny evergreen foliage that is attractive year round and excellent hardiness. Its more upright habit makes it good for hedging, and the faster growth means it fills in more quickly than other varieties. Proven Winners rate it for sun or shade in moist, well drained soil with average water, call it easy to grow and deer resistant, and recommend it for landscapes and containers, edging, hedging and formal gardens.
