Boxwood/Bruxus – Chicagoland Green®

Description

Fast growing and cold hardy. Chicagoland Green® boxwood was selected at the Chicago Botanic Garden for its superior hardiness in the Windy City. As a result, it is popular in the Midwest and other cold areas. Semi-dwarf, with a dense, rounded habit.

Chicagoland Green will grow slightly wider than tall. It is an excellent cold-hardy cultivar that is extremely uniform in its growth. It is very similar to ‘Green Velvet’.   Chicagoland Green will bronze slightly in winter especially when planted in full sun. Bronzed foliage will typically disappear quickly in spring as temperatures rise. Bronzed foliage will brighten and new growth will begin to appear. Deer resistant.
