Notes
Based on Asian species of box, the BetterBuxus® hybrids are resistant to fungal diseases and are less susceptible to the boxwood caterpillar than the traditional native Buxus sempervirens. The plants are not stripped bare and remain green. This variety, 'Skylight', is high and fast growing, with medium green leaves, making it ideal for topiary.
(It is still recommended to apply a treatment against the boxwood moth twice a year)
