Buxus sempervirens Dee Runk

Buxus sempervirens ‘Dee Runk’ is a distinctive upright boxwood selected for its naturally narrow, columnar form. Unlike more rounded boxwoods, it grows tall and slender, making it ideal for tight spaces, vertical accents, and narrow hedges. It thrives in full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil and grows at a moderate rate compared to dwarf cultivars. Hardy in USDA Zones 6–8, it typically reaches 8–10 feet tall while remaining just 2–3 feet wide, offering strong evergreen structure year-round.
