Dwarf Variegated Boxwood – 5 Gallon Pot

An eye catching dwarf evergreen shrub that will light up your landscape or container gardens, the Dwarf  Variegated Boxwood sports outstanding variegated leaves of white, yellow, medium green and dark green. This cute little boxwood provides excellent contrast and/or a splash of color just about anywhere in the landscape that gets 3 hours or more of direct sun, maintaining its bright color even in more shady areas. No pruning necessary however can be sheared to formal shapes.

Note:  For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zones 6a, where this Boxwood variety is not reliably winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring. 

The Variegated Dwarf Boxwood is easy to grow when planted right, and in the right spot. It adapts to most soil types and likes full sun or part shade, preferring afternoon shade or filtered sun in warmer climates of the South. It prefers a moist but well-drained soil and will only need supplemental water during prolonged periods of dry weather. As with many other plants, a constantly soggy or wet soil can be problematic.
