A boxwood with small (tiny even) variegated leaves. Shade lover.

This is a very cool boxwood, I promise. New foliage is bright yellow, then fades to green with a splash of yellow. What a bright spot for all sorts of uses- specimen, small hedge, container, companion, sun to part shade. So far, seems to be free of leaf miner here.
