Buxus sempervirens Vardar Valley

Buxus sempervirens ‘Vardar Valley’ is a cold-hardy boxwood selection valued for its distinctive blue-green foliage and broad, naturally mounded habit. Originating from the Balkans, this cultivar grows slowly and evenly, forming a low, spreading shrub that works well in foundations and informal hedges. It performs best in full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil and good air circulation. Hardy in USDA Zones 5–8, it typically reaches about 2–3 feet tall and 3–5 feet wide over time, offering durable evergreen structure with a softer profile than upright boxwoods.
