Quick Overview:

An award-winning new Box Honeysuckle featuring flashy chartreuse foliage with an improved, dense, midsize frame. Let it naturally cascade for focal interest or shape it to taste. Because of its smaller leaf size and dense form, Thunderbolt® makes a great boxwood hedge replacement in part sun landscapes.

SKU: N/A

Description

Easily grown in humusy, organically rich, medium moisture, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. In hot summer climates, plants typically perform best in part shade. Plants have some drought tolerance once established. Prune as needed immediately after flowering. Evergreen foliage becomes semi-evergreen to deciduous near the northern edge of its growing range (USDA Zone 7). Easily grown from cuttings.
