LATIN NAME:BUXUS MICROPHYLLA 'SUNBURST'
The Basics
Sunburst Boxwood is an eye-catching evergreen shrub admired for its bright golden-yellow foliage and naturally rounded growth habit. New growth emerges with vibrant yellow coloring before gradually maturing into attractive shades of green and gold, providing year-round beauty and interest in the landscape. Its compact form and dense branching make it an excellent choice for foundation plantings, hedges, borders, containers, and accent gardens.
Sunburst Boxwood is highly valued for its ability to add color and structure to the landscape while maintaining the classic appearance that makes boxwoods so popular.
Amount of Sunlight: Prefers full sun to partial shade.
Amount of Water: Requires regular watering while becoming established but becomes moderately drought tolerant once mature.
Soil Conditions: Prefers rich, well-drained soil.
Cold Hardiness Zone: 5–9
Sunburst Boxwood is a relatively low-maintenance shrub that benefits from occasional pruning to maintain its desired shape and encourage dense growth. Applying mulch around the base of the plant helps retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and protect the root system. Fertilizing during the spring growing season will promote healthy foliage and vigorous growth.
Although this variety tolerates a range of growing conditions, it performs best when protected from prolonged periods of standing water.
