Shrubs - Boxwood Beauty

Dark green compact, with no thorns.  By far, the most popular version of Natal Plum is due to being thornless, but also for its compact, naturally dwarf, and slow, manageable growth habit. Dark, rich glossy green rounded to oval pointed leaves are held tight against its stems creating a virtually dense, well-behaved bush. Easily conforms to many different landscape possibilities such as foundational shrubs, low border shrubs, raised beds, or containers in full sun around patios or pools. Very clean plants with fragrant white, star-shaped blooms. They are low maintenance shrubs with plenty of heat tolerance.
