With its small stature, English Boxwood does well in containers, making it even more versatile for the home.With its consistent color and texture, hardy nature and variety of uses, it’s easy to see why English Boxwood has long been a favorite of gardeners since ancient times.  It’s hard to find a more remarkable shrub than English Boxwood, and it will certainly serve you well in your landscape this year.* Evergreen with year round interest* Highly versatile* Long-lived* Good drought tolerance.
