More about this plant
An improved, fast growing form of Winter Gem boxwood reaching 2 to 4 feet tall and wide, with shiny evergreen foliage that is attractive year round and excellent hardiness.

Proven Winners rate it for sun or shade in moist, well drained soil with average water, call it easy to grow and deer resistant, and recommend it for landscapes and containers, edging, hedging and formal gardens.
