NewGen® Boxwood

Few shrubs define the American landscape quite like boxwood, but disease and pest pressures have made growing them frustrating for many gardeners. NewGen Boxwood changes that.

Developed by Saunders Brothers in Virginia, NewGen varieties are specifically bred for resistance to two of boxwood's biggest threats: boxwood blight and boxwood leafminer. These aren't just marginally tougher plants. They represent a genuine breakthrough for gardeners who love the classic look of boxwood but have struggled to keep them healthy.

Why NewGen Boxwood?

Traditional boxwood varieties remain vulnerable to Calonectria pseudonaviculata, the fungus that causes boxwood blight. Once established, this disease spreads rapidly through plantings and can devastate an entire hedge in a single season. NewGen varieties show strong resistance, giving you confidence that your investment will last.

Boxwood leafminer causes that unsightly blistering and yellowing that plagues so many boxwood plantings. NewGen's resistance to this pest means cleaner foliage without constant chemical intervention.

American-Bred Toughness

NewGen Boxwood varieties were developed right here in the U.S., bred to handle real-world conditions in American gardens. Whether you're creating formal hedges, foundation plantings, or container accents, these boxwoods deliver the dense, fine-textured foliage gardeners expect with reliability that older varieties simply can't match.
