A fresh twist on a timeless favorite, Lucky Charm Boxwood combines refined structure with a unique botanical flair. Selected by the SOUTHERN LIVING Plant Collection, this compact evergreen features a naturally rounded habit paired with elegant, elongated leaves-a graceful departure from the more common oval foliage of traditional boxwoods. The narrow, deep green leaves create a fine-textured, almost sculptural look that elevates everything from formal hedges to container gardens. Its dense, polished appearance makes it a landscape designer's dream-perfect for edging walkways, flanking entryways, or shaping into low topiary forms. Even better. It holds its shape beautifully with minimal pruning. Lucky Charm isn't just about good looks; it was also bred for performance. Heat-tolerant, disease-resistant, and evergreen through the seasons, it delivers year-round curb appeal with very little fuss. Whether you're creating a modern garden vignette or adding structure to a cottage border, this boxwood's unique foliage adds a sophisticated twist.
