This week’s spotlight is on Better Boxwoods—a superior collection of evergreen boxwoods that bring year-round beauty, structure, and resilience to your garden. Perfect for hedges, accents, or containers, these low-maintenance plants are as versatile as they are elegant.
Why Better Boxwoods Are Better Than Traditional Boxwoods
Better Boxwoods are bred to resist common boxwood problems, including boxwood blight and leaf spot, and they tolerate heat, drought, and varying soil conditions better than older varieties. Their consistent growth habits mean less pruning, fewer gaps, and a lush, even appearance year-round. In short, you’ll enjoy the classic beauty of boxwoods with less work and worry.
