Boxwood

This classic evergreen shrub is a true workhorse in any garden. Otherwise known as Buxus, its lush foliage, compactness, feet tall, and rounded growth habit make it perfect for most yards, offering sophistication and structure.

Partial to full sun and well-drained soil best suits these shrubs. To keep its original form, all you have to do is prune it minimally sometime in early spring to maintain its shape.

Only enough water should be given but not over-watered for this low-maintenance shrub that prefers moist soils rather than wet ones.
