Weeping Golden Boxwood! Words cannot begin to describe the loveliness of a single specimen in a lightly shaded location! The leaves are variegated with pure golden yellow and the evergreen branchlets droop gracefully – please don't 'box' this boxwood! Fairly slow growing, eventually 8' tall x 6' wide; well drained acidic soils are best but tolerant of most soils; it will take sun to moderate shade; does not like dry. This eye catcher needs a place of distinction…it would enjoy a large pretty pot!
