  • Description

  • Notes

Boxleaf euonymus is a compact, densely rounded, evergreen shrub ideally suited for a low hedge or border in a protected site. It has dark green, glossy foliage, reminescent of boxwood, and is slow-growing to 1 to 2 feet tall and about half as wide. Its habit and indifference to shearing makes it useful as a border, in a parterre, or as an evergreen accent in a perennial border. Also available in variegated forms.
