Boxwood plant

Southern wax myrtle (Myrica cerifera) is the evergreen southern cousin of northern bayberry. It has attractive and aromatic olive-green leaves, fragrant blue fruits in winter, and beautiful gray bark. The new growth is golden-yellow, contrasting nicely with other darker evergreen trees and shrubs. It makes an attractive hedge or foundation plant. Left unsheared, it develops a billowing cloud-like form. #boxwood #landscaping #bestshrubs #bhg
