Notes
'Wedding Ring' boxwood (Buxus microphylla 'Wedding Ring') is a shrub for borders, hedges, foundation plantings, and formal gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy or clay soil. It grows slowly into a dense, evergreen shrub that tolerates drought. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. Bees visit the spring blooms.
Pairs well with Munstead lavender, Red spider lily, and Johnny jump up.
