Notes

'Justin Brouwers' Korean boxwood (Buxus sinica 'Justin Brouwers') is a shrub for borders, hedges, containers, and formal gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full sun to full shade and average to moist soil of most types. It stays evergreen, so it gives you winter interest. It also tolerates drought once settled. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by.

Pairs well with Hicksii yew, Silver sage, Japanese forest grass, and Creeping thyme.
