FOR OUR NORTHERN CUSTOMERS THIS IS POSSIBLY THE MOST COLD HARDY BOXWOOD,
CAN THRIVE IN ZONE 4 ! Inglis Boxwood is a dense evergreen shrub with an upright
spread. Its relatively fine texture sets it apart from other landscape plants with
less refined foliage. It is a low maintenance shrub, and can be pruned at anytime.
It's not particularly attractive to deer who tend to leave it alone in favor of
tastier treats and has no significant negative characteristics. Good dark green
winter color and very hardy (considered hardy to -20 degrees F.)
