This is an excellent evergreen shrub for small hedges. It is one of the hardiest small-leaved boxwoods. During fall the rich green foliage begins to transform in a golden bronze hue in cold winter zones. It is one of the first plants to become green again in spring. It is a great choice to add to formal gardens, and it provides year round interest.
