Buxus microphylla 'Wintergreen' Boxwood
Mature Size: 4-5′ x 4-5′

Outstanding Characteristics: Korean Boxwood variety that generally holds its color better in the winter. Faster growing than American Boxwood, it tolerates the heat of the south better. Popular as a hedge in a formal garden, these specimens are best used as corner anchors or accent plants.
Notes: Plant in moist, but well-drained soil. Full sun is best, but avoid the southern exposure and windy spots to minimize winter bronzing.
