Buxus NewGen Freedom® Boxwood

NewGen Freedom® Boxwood provides rich dark green evergreen foliage and a naturally dense rounded habit that brings structure and color to the landscape throughout the year. Its fine textured foliage maintains an attractive appearance across the seasons, creating a polished look in formal gardens, foundation plantings, and mixed borders. Slightly larger than NewGen Independence®, it offers a fuller presence while maintaining the classic beauty gardeners expect from boxwood.

Part of the innovative NewGen® collection, this improved selection offers resistance to boxwood blight along with improved tolerance to boxwood leafminer and boxwood psyllid. Its naturally uniform shape requires little pruning, making it an excellent choice for hedges, topiary, mass plantings, containers, and landscape accents. Pair it with roses, hydrangeas, camellias, and flowering perennials for year round structure and contrast.

Hardy in Zones 5 through 9, NewGen Freedom® thrives in part sun to sun and adapts well to average well drained soils, including clay. Mature plants reach approximately 3 to 4 feet tall and wide. Easy to grow and dependable, this evergreen shrub delivers improved disease resistance, strong landscape performance, and lasting beauty with minimal maintenance.
