Buxus (boxwood)

Boxwood: Evergreen shrub, useful as hedge, edging, foundation plantings, formal gardens. Can be trimmed to any shape imaginable. Not all boxwood is hardy in this area but a few have been bred to withstand our cold winters. Some people don't care for the fragrance of boxwood but I've only noticed a smell a certain time of the year, not year round.

Boxwood
"Newport Blue"

Bluish green leaves.  Grows to a 4' shrub. This one gave us a little trouble when it was young. Had a little winter burn each spring but did grow out of that and turned out to be a really nice boxwood.
