No landscape is complete without at least one Boxwood plant. They are incredibly versatile plants, with a variety of colors, foliage and habits. Used for everything from traditional hedges to intricate topiary figures, the Boxwood can’t be beat for its utility and beauty. They are simply a must-have for any superior landscape. Your Green Borders Boxwood grows to about 3 feet in height with a 4 foot spread. Its branching habit is somewhat horizontal, helping it blend easily with companion plants. The dark green foliage has a soft appearance to its finely textured leaves. A delightful thin, white stripe runs down the underside of each leaf, an added decorative feature to an already lovely plant. In fact, your Boxwood is so valued for its lovely foliage that is often used in crafts and decorations. Your Green Borders Boxwood is an adaptable shrub that looks great if left alone, but also easily adjusts to your specific needs. You can shape it to almost any height and it takes well to being used as a topiary specimen. Your Boxwood is deer resistant, so even when its evergreen nature tempts them in their winter-foraging, you’re unlikely to have to chase them off. It’s an outstanding, hardy plant that will fit many uses and landscape conditions. You can’t go wrong with a Green Borders Boxwood. * Adaptable to pruning* Evergreen* Deer resistant
