Heritage
This hybrid is very similar to the well-known Buxus sempervirens, but grows somewhat more compactly. It has medium to dark green, glossy leaves and requires high fertilisation. On poor sandy soils and with low fertilisation this plant can discolour in autumn and winter, but will turn green again in spring when temperatures rise.
