Slow-growing evergreen shrub with a rounded growth-habit to 2-3′ tall and wide. Can easily be maintained to 1-2’ tall. This dwarf variety features the same attractive foliage as common boxwood but in a denser-growing more compact form. A prime selection for shearing this variety is especially well-suited as a low-growing clipped hedge or topiary specimen as well as an attractive informal hedge or border. Prefers a fast-draining soil and a partial to full sun exposure.
