  • Description / Buxus Better Boxwood® Skylight™

    If you're looking for a refined, low-maintenance evergreen that stands up to modern landscape challenges, Buxus Better Boxwood® Skylight™ might just be your new garden mainstay. With medium green foliage that keeps its color all year and a tidy, upright habit, this improved boxwood offers a vibrant yet controlled presence in the garden. New foliage emerges a bright, fresh green before maturing, creating soft contrast and texture even without noticeable blooms. Skylight™ grows vigorously, forming a full 8-foot tall hedge with a 4-foot spread—perfect for both structure and beauty.

    This variety is a workhorse in the landscape, whether you're shaping a formal hedge, softening foundation plantings, or designing a container garden that stays evergreen through every season. Commonly known as boxwood, it's a trusted choice for privacy screens or as a backdrop for flowering companions. Try pairing it with Hydrangeas for summer contrast, Spiraea for soft spring color, or roses for a timeless garden look. Its formality and adaptability also make it a favorite in both classic and contemporary garden styles.

    Skylight™ thrives in full sun to part shade and appreciates well-drained, adaptable soils. It's hardy from Zones 5 to 9 and stays neat with minimal pruning. Most notably, this cultivar was developed for enhanced resistance to boxwood blight and deer—huge wins for long-term health and ease of care. Strong roots, quick establishment, and fuss-free maintenance make it an excellent alternative to older, more disease-prone varieties. With Skylight™, you're planting both beauty and peace of mind.
