Buxus microphylla (Boxwood)
Color Name: Sprinter
An improved, fast-growing form of Winter Gem, with lustrous evergreen foliage that has excellent hardiness and stays attractive year-round. The upright habit makes it great for edging and in formal gardens. A great pick for use in as a low hedge, as it fills in more quickly than slower growing boxwoods.
Growing Tips: Prefers moist, well-drained soil. Fertilize with a controlled release fertilizer in spring. Pruning is seldom needed, but may be trimmed in summer.
