Golden Triumph Boxwood
Buxus microphylla 'Golden Triumph'
A low-growing, compact Japanese Boxwood, rarely reaching above 3 feet tall in 10 years. Shiny green foliage with showy golden-yellow margins adorn this very hardy Boxwood variety, creating a great contrast plant in the garden. This slow grower works well in foundation plantings, or to create a unique pattern or framework in a formal garden. Performs well in the heat.
