Buxus microphylla 'Green Beauty' Something is to be said about planting the right plant in the right place.

When we see boxwood in the right place we are usually in awe of its amazing beauty and the forms created by pruning and shaping. Boxwood is a familiar plant and often used in the utility of a hedge or edging plant yet it can be transformed into playful animal shapes or twirling spires.

Boxwood is a shrub, a bush, and a green plant with small rounded deep green leaves. The new growth is apple green and as winter comes it becomes bronze tinged. Boxwoods like full sun to part shade , little to moderate water, do well in rocky soils, are deer proof, and are very cold hardy yet tolerate heat and humidity. Green beauty flowers in April and May with yellow inconspicuous flowers that are fragrant and attractive to bees.

Green Beauty boxwood grows to six feet tall by four feet wide. The name states one of the plant’s best qualities; deep green color in the coldest and warmest weather. Plant as a hedge, screen or whimsical animal in the center of your lawn.
