Boxwood Beauty is a compact, evergreen shrub known for its dense, rounded growth habit and glossy, dark green leaves. This low-maintenance plant is an excellent choice for formal hedges, borders, or foundation plantings, offering year-round structure and beauty. Unlike true boxwoods, Boxwood Beauty is more drought-tolerant and adaptable to warm climates, making it a perfect choice for Mediterranean or desert landscapes. Additionally, it produces small, fragrant white flowers in the warmer months, adding a touch of elegance to its lush, green foliage.
Type of Light: Full Sun to Partial Shade
Boxwood Beauty thrives in full sun but can tolerate partial shade. For best growth and foliage density, plant it in a location with plenty of bright light. It performs well in hot, dry conditions, making it ideal for sunny garden spots.
Watering: Low to Moderate Water Requirement
Once established, Boxwood Beauty is fairly drought-tolerant and requires minimal watering. Water deeply every 1-2 weeks, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. It prefers well-draining soil and doesn’t like to sit in water, so be sure to avoid overwatering.
Companion Planting:
Boxwood Beauty pairs beautifully with other drought-tolerant plants such as Lavender, Rosemary, and Lantana. Its dense green foliage also makes a striking contrast when planted alongside Agave or Succulents in desert-inspired landscapes. These companions complement its low-water needs and enhance the overall texture and interest of the garden.
