Babylon Beauty Boxwood is a low-spreading evergreen shrub with fine bright green leaves that is extremely suitable for topiary. Small clusters of green-cream flowers bloom in spring. Prefers part shade and well-drained soils, as it is prone to burning if planted in full sun. Drought tolerant once established. The BetterBoxwood series is blight resistant.
