Monrovia Green Beauty Boxwood

This variety is specifically bred for superior heat and humidity tolerance. Unlike many other boxwoods that may scorch or thin out, it maintains its lush, dark green foliage even during intense summer temperatures.

While it is an evergreen, the foliage will develop a bronze tint during the colder winter months. This is a natural response to the temperature drop and the plant will return to its deep green color once the weather warms in spring.

Yes, it is an excellent candidate for formal pruning. Its medium growth rate and dense habit make it easy to shape into hedges, globes, or other topiary forms without requiring constant maintenance.

Absolutely. Its size and hardiness make it a great choice for large containers, provided the pot has adequate drainage. It works well as a standalone accent or as a pair flanking an entryway.

The Green Beauty Boxwood is considered deer resistant. While no plant is entirely deer-proof, this variety is generally ignored by deer in favor of more palatable landscape plants.

Since the mature spread is 6 feet, you should space them 3 to 4 feet apart if you want a dense, continuous hedge. If you prefer individual specimens, space them at least 6 feet apart to allow for full air circulation.
