Japanese Boxwood 'Green Beauty'
Buxus microphylla var. japonica ‘Green Beauty’ (Japanese Boxwood) is a dense and compact evergreen shrub with a lush foliage of small, glossy, lance-shaped, dark green leaves. The foliage retains its rich color most of the year, becoming bronze-tinged in cold winter weather. More heat, humidity and drought tolerant than most English boxwood varieties, it also enjoys an excellent resistance to boxwood blight. Tough, hardy and easy to grow, this Boxwood provides color year-round, as well as form, texture and contrast to its companion plants.
