Golden Triumph Boxwood
Buxus microphylla 'Golden Triumph'
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Shrub
Plant Family: Buxaceae
Plant Description: Broadleaf evergreen. Low growing, compact boxwood. Shiny foliage is green with yellow margins. Can grow in full sun or shade, however this plant does best with part sun and shade. Full sun can scorch foliage and full shade will cause the plant to be less vigorous. During cold winters, the leaves and tender stems often suffer from winter burn, especially in exposed conditions. Affected branches must be pruned out in the spring.
