Another option is contrasting boxwood with evergreen shrubs that offer color or textural contrast. Grows to 4 to 5 high and wide. Best grown in evenly moist, well-drained soils. Needs less water once established. Provide full to part sun. Feed in spring with an all-purpose fertilizer. Hardy to Zone 6/-10 degrees F.
