Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Dwarf Korean Boxwood possibly the most ideal garden boxwood, this cultivar can play a very important role in contemporary landscape. Small, dark green, glossy leaves maintain their color year-round, unlike many boxwoods that tend to bronze in winter. This evergreen shrub responds well to shearing and is attractive as an individual specimen or part of a highly manicured border, low hedge, or parterre. Left unsheared it will become an attractive garden feature that is wider than tall. Grows well in partial shade to full sun, tolerates dry conditions and shows some deer resistance.
