    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Delicate, semi-glossy, emerald-grn (rich "black"-grn in wntr) foliage, a compact oval habit (to 3-4't x 4-5'w) AND excellent cold hardiness make this a great selection for hedge or foundation. S-PSh/M

    Excellent cold hardiness, a compact, oval-rounded habit, delicate foliage and good growth rate. The semi-glossy, emerald-green foliage develops an appealing bluish cast during the growing season that changes to a rich black-green during winter. The elegant texture of Northern Charm™ is reminiscent of Korean box. This selection makes an outstanding choice for traditional formal hedges and border plantings. A selection out of a seedling block at Wilson Nurseries, Inc., in Hampshire, Illinois.
