| EVERGREEN PREMIER SELECTION
Buxus sempervirens 'Elegantissima'
A very striking boxwood that is most commonly used as an accent plant. Has rather small leaves that are splashed with cream coloring. Slow to moderate growth - likes full sun to partial shade. Does best in slightly moist, cool soils that drain well - does not like clay soils, as the drainage is inadequate. May be kept at just about any size or shape through trimming / pruning. Makes an excellent accent when planted amongst larger plantings of solid green color. Has a slightly more upright, columnar type growth habit than many boxwoods if left untrimmed.
