Buxus Neatball™ PPAF is a patented evergreen boxwood shrub (a selection of Buxus microphylla) that’s specially bred for compact, neat growth and low-maintenance landscaping. Rich deep-green leaves stay vibrant through winter without common bronzing or browning seen in many other boxwoods. Grows best in partial shade and moist, slightly acidic well-drained soils. Drought tolerant once established.
