BetterBoxwood Skylight is a fast-growing upright evergreen shrub with fine medium green leaves that is extremely suitable for topiary. Small clusters of green-cream flowers bloom in spring. Prefers part shade and well-drained soils, as it is prone to burning if planted in full sun. Drought tolerant once established. Skylight is blight resistant.
