Green Beauty Boxwood | Buxus microphylla v. japonica 'Green Beauty'
'Green Beauty' is an excellent medium-sized cultivar that has deep green glossy foliage with little winter bronzing. It has a naturally rounded habit that will typically be slightly wider than tall. Its branching structure makes for a very strong plant that can withstand breakage from most moderate to heavy snowfalls. It is very durable and recovers quickly if a limb is broken or if radical pruning is necessary. Deer resistant.
Comments: 'Green Beauty' has become very popular due to its high tolerance to boxwood blight. Its durability and disease resistance are very good. We have planted it in locations where diseased English boxwood have died and it is thriving. Pruning as a young plant is a must to develop a good shape. 'Green Beauty' has been planted extensively in the Main Fountain Garden of Longwood Gardens at Kennett's Square, PA.
