Boxwood - Green Beauty

The Boxwood Green Beauty, Buxus m. j. 'Green Beauty', has a compact habit with dark, glossy leaves. This is a popular evergreen shrub with rounded leaves and dense growth. Makes an excellent sheared hedge or when left unpruned, it becomes a classical accent for entries and corners. Green Beauty makes a wonderful container plant and is tolerant of drought, heat and alkaline soil. Growing 4-6 inches a year, it does make a beautiful hedge. Green Beauty will grow in most soils, but avoid heavy clay. It is best to amend the soil, if needed, with silt, sand, or an organic material. Prune after new growth becomes woody (early June) and new growth will appear again in the middle of August. Plant in sun to partial sun in well drained soil. . ... additional information
