Super hardy and great deep green winter color.

Buxus Chicagoland Green®

A reliably hardy, broadleaf evergreen shrub with excellent winter color and uniform habit.

A quintessential selection that is super winter hardy, excellent for hedges, borders, accents, groupings, foundation plantings and formal gardens. Attractive medium-green in summer, developing a slight bronze tint in winter. Easily transplanted B & B or from containers. Best sited in filtered sun, although performance of evaluation plants in full sun, as well as shaded locations, has been good. Extremely wet sites should be avoided.

Please note: We don't sell plants. Asking your local retailer or googling the plant name is the easiest way to find someone selling our plants.
