This columnar evergreen shrub features a narrow, upright habit, making it ideal for formal gardens, hedges, and container planting. Recommended for zones 5-9, it thrives in well-draining soils and performs best in temperatures ranging from -20°F to 90°F. The foliage is a glossy, deep green that maintains its color year-round without notable fall color change. This boxwood is slow-growing, reaching a mature height of 8-10 feet and a width of just 1-2 feet, lending it a striking, vertical form. It is moderately deer-resistant and requires full sun to partial shade conditions. Low maintenance and highly versatile, it adapts to a variety of soil types but benefits from slightly alkaline to neutral pH levels. Perfect for structured landscapes or adding vertical interest.
