Description
Better Boxwood® is the first collection of scientifically bred blight-resistant boxwood varieties in the United States. They are the result of two decades of rigorous selection and testing.
This groundbreaking collection was developed in Europe, a region battling boxwood blight since the early 1990s. The meticulous breeding process was spearheaded by Didier Hermans, a renowned Belgium grower, in collaboration with the Flemish Institute for Agricultural and Fisheries Research, both of whom are at the forefront of the fight against boxwood blight in Europe.
Heritage is very similar to Buxus sempervirens but a bit more compact. It has dark green leaves and is ideal as a hedge or pruning form. Disease resistant. Heritage grows up to 36-48” high and 24-36” wide. Hardy in USDA zones 5–9.
