Beautiful, glossy green foliage adorns this relatively vigorous, rounded boxwood that is slightly taller than wide. The habit of NewGen Freedom® is more uniform and tighter than ‘Wintergreen’ or ‘Winter Gem’ making it an excellent choice for formal and residential landscapes. Deer resistant! NewGen Freedom® is very resistant to boxwood leafminer and shows good resistance to boxwood blight.
Best grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Prefers moist, sandy loams. Tolerant of pruning and shearing. Avoid cultivating around plants because they have shallow roots. Roots appreciate a good mulch. (Courtesy of Missouri Botanical Garden Plant Finder)
