Korean Boxwood

(B. sinica insularis)

It's slower and lower growing than Japanese boxwood. It tolerates severe winters, making it an especially good choice for the Upper South, though it will grow throughout the South.

Best for low hedges or edging: 'Justin Brouwers' has lustrous, rich green leaves and is sun tolerant. 'Wintergreen' has small leaves and is extremely cold hardy.
