Growing Zones
Resilient evergreen form, the NewGen Liberty Bell® Boxwood PP#24,443 (Buxus sinica var. insularis 'RLH-BI') is a tough, compact broadleaf evergreen shrub with rich dark green foliage that keeps its color through winter.
Developed to resist Boxwood Blight and Leafminer damage, it holds a naturally rounded form with minimal pruning. This tidy, symmetrical shrub features small, glossy oval leaves and a low-growing habit that brings year-round structure and classic elegance to your landscape. It also has excellent deer resistance and thrives in sun to part shade.
This Boxwood stays neat and well-shaped, reaching about 1-2 feet tall and 3 feet wide over a ten-year span. Its evergreen foliage is fine-textured with deep green tones and slightly lighter undersides. Branches are tight and upright, forming a dense ball-shaped silhouette without much effort. Shallow, fibrous roots make it easy to transplant, and it produces small, pale green spring flowers that attract early-season pollinators. It’s a reliable option for gardeners looking for a low-maintenance structure and formal design elements.
