Green Beauty Boxwood is a compact low-growing evergreen shrub with lush small leaves that are a rich green that holds its color well in hot summers and gains an attractive gold bronzing in winter. Prefers sunny to partial shade areas in well-drained soils. Green Beauty is more heat, humidity, and drought tolerant than other boxwoods as well as having excellent boxwood blight resistance.
