March 7, 2024 Plant of the week: Boxwood

Plant Spotlight on Boxwood (Buxus microphylla var. japonica)
This excellent evergreen shrub is perfect for small hedges. It is among the hardiest of small-leaved boxwoods, with rich green foliage that can turn golden bronze in cold winter zones, but quickly regains its green color in spring. Ideal for formal gardens, providing year-round interest. It thrives in full sun to partial sun and is deer resistant and rabbit resistant. Suitable for borders, containers, hedges, and privacy screens. This classic hedge plant is stunning against red brick, perfect for dividing yards or creating topiaries. It maintains its color throughout winter and pairs well with companion plants like Spirea, Lilac, Weigela, Maiden Grass, Coneflower, and Gayfeather.
