A staple of American gardens, the American Boxwood is the classic way to bring evergreen beauty to your garden. Its naturally dense, evergreen foliage is glossy and richly colored. The tiny leaves create a unique effect as a tightly-clipped hedge or an informal mound. Able to grow to 12 feet tall in time, this is the perfect bush for a matched pair of plants gracing your front door and clipped into any form your imagination can develop. Classic cones and pyramids are a breeze, or create spirals and free-form topiary too.
Left unclipped the natural beauty of irregular dense mounds will develop with no need for any special attention. The perfect dense hedge or screen, American Boxwood is not troubled by deer and makes an ideal barrier to hide a fence or define the form of your garden. American Boxwood is happy in sun or partial shade in any ordinary soil.
