Aucuba japonica to Camellia 'April Dawn'
Aucuba japonica Green Gold-dust
Plant
Buxus sempervirens 'Dee Runk'
Columnar Boxwood
Compact growing, green-leaved form of this durable
broad-leaved evergreen. This is a female form, a
male companion is needed if you want the festive
red berries. Deer-resistant and one of the few shrubs
that tolerates dry shade. Zones 6b-10. H: 3-4 ft · W:
3-4 ft
Those looking for garden drama will find it here! Try
'Dee Runk' for a remarkable living exclamation
point. This is a larger-growing boxwood that rapidly
forms a tall tight column up to 10' high, yet only 2'
wide, with glossy dark green leaves. Zones 5-8. H:
10-12 ft · W: 1-2 ft
Aucuba japonica 'Sulphur' Yellowmargined Aucuba
Buxus sempervirens 'Jensen'
Boxwood
We got this from Hawksridge Nursery. This gorgeous
plant apparently goes by the other names 'Sulphurea
Marginata', and 'Limbata'. A female clone fairly
common in Europe but rather rare here in the US.
Slow-growing and therefore expensive. Yellow
margins, green interior. Shade tolerant and deer
resistant. Limited. Zones 6-8. H: 3-4 ft · W: 2-3 ft
One of our favorites because of its deep dark green
leaf color that displays a blue sheen in the sunlight.
The new growth has a beautiful light blue cast. It
forms a compact upright mound, which on our 20
year old stock plant is 18" high and 15" wide. Deer
resistant. Zones 5-8.

County, IL from one of the northernmost wild

severe winters. It has a broad, spreading habit that
is much less formal than that of other boxwoods.

NEW! The branch profile looks like a file, thus the
name. Upright-growing plants have small, narrow

best grown where the root zone can be mulched and
left undisturbed. Like most boxwoods, this one
tolerates shearing and so can be used in hedges.

Tom Ranney/ Mountain Crops Research Institute.
The addition of fragrance to 'Hartlage Wine' blends
