ONLY AVAILABLE BY CONTRACT GROW
NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON
Korean Boxwood is a vibrant evergreen shrub. A top choice for colder climates, this shrub will look stunning lining a driveway or as a foundation plant.
Easy to root in and maintain, Korean Boxwood's thick foliage is deer resistant and turns an attractive yellow-brown to purplish in winter. Consider applying mulch around the base to keep the roots moist and cool.
Note: This species is currently unavailable. Grow your own using Korean Boxwood seeds at SeedTime.ca.
Alpine Currant is a great shrub to plant along sidewalks, near building or at your property boundary as a hedge or accent species. It is widely used by commercial landscapers in parking lots and near buildings because of its hardiness, attractiveness, and pollution tolerance.
While Alpine Currant produces edible berries, they are not palatable.
