Who says you can’t have structure and style? Neatball® boxwood (Buxus microphylla) delivers both, growing naturally into a dense, glossy green globe that’s as low-maintenance as it is good-looking. No shears required—this little evergreen keeps its tidy shape all on its own.
Unlike many other boxwoods, Neatball® holds onto its rich, dark green color through winter, refusing to fade or bronze when the weather turns cold. That means your landscape keeps its polish all year long, even when everything else is sleeping.
It’s not just about good looks, though—Neatball® is tough. With better hardiness than many boxwoods, it stands up to the cold and still comes out looking sharp. Use it as a formal hedge, a foundation accent, or a low-maintenance container thriller—wherever you plant it, it pulls your design together effortlessly.
Tidy. Hardy. Handsome. Neatball® makes perfection look easy.
