Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This compact rounded 3-4' boxwood shrub was chosen by the Chicago Botanic Garden for its exceptional cold tolerance which allows it to keep its bright, glossy-green foliage longer into the winter. This cultivar makes a wonderful low hedge that can be sheared for a formal garden or left alone for a more casual look. S-PSh /M
