The name says it all - a mushroom-shaped squat dome of evenly-spaced needles on delicate branches providing an airy effect. Requires little or no pruning to maintain this form. Easily grown in sun or partial shade provided the soil is relatively moist but well-drained and where protected from dessicating winter winds in coldest reaches of zone 6.
A seedling strain of the fabulous and reliable Japanese candelabra primula, producing vigorous clumps of spoon-shaped foliage and tall spires of whorled flowers in intense crimson red. Tolerant of extremely wet soil, in sun or partial shade.
We selected this particular Boxwood at the Morris Arboretum, attracted by its incredibly dense growth, tight mounds of evergreen, and bronze-tinted foliage. A choice plant for bordering a formal pathway or the beds of a potager (see picture). In full sun, just make sure the soil does not get bone-dry, lest the foliage takes on a dullish hue. A formal low hedge requiring delightfully little maintenance.
Fastigiate cultivar, resembling at first glance a broadleaf Irish Yew! A perfect vertical accent or narrow hedge, in full sun or partial shade. I am astounded that the narrow, upright boxwood cultivars are still relatively unknown in this country and not put to greater use. Astounded, I say, astounded.
Soft purple-pink with yellow eye, WandaÆs leaves open a bit bronzed before going solid green. With the PrimroseÆs characteristic cold hardiness, æWandaÆ is the standard-bearer of the group of hybrids derived from Primula juliae a small brightly-flowered species discovered in Caucasian mountain forests in 1900 and P. vulgaris, a native of English meadows. Tolerates a considerable amount of shade while requiring moist soil.
