Description

This compact, slow-growing shrub typically reaches a height of 1-3 meters (3-10 feet) and has dense, glossy dark green leaves that remain on the plant year-round. The leaves are opposite, oval-shaped, and about 1-3 centimeters long.

Boxwood is known for its ability to be easily shaped and pruned, making it a popular choice for hedges, topiaries, and formal garden designs. Its dense foliage and small, inconspicuous yellow-green flowers in spring add to its ornamental appeal.
