Evergreen Buxus microphylla (Boxwood)
Color Name: Green Mountain
Green Mountain is a vigorous evergreen shrub with bright green foliage that retains good color throughout winter. The upright, naturally cone-shaped habit makes it an excellent candidate for topiary forms, and a striking container or formal garden accent. Use in mass plantings to create either a free-form or a sculpted hedge.
* Deer resistant
* Upright and conical form
* Large range of landscape uses
* Great as a specimen or hedging
* Year round color
Growing Tips: Tolerates shade well, but leaf color and overall foliage coverage is better with at least some sun. Grows most rapidly where moisture is consistently available.
Soil: Does best in moist (even very moist), slightly acidic soils.
Pruning: Naturally dense habit requires little pruning; may be trimmed after new growth has hardened off in late spring, though.
Uses: Hedges; edgings; foundation plantings; specimen; containers; mass planting.
