Unraveled® Weeping Boxwood
Buxus sempervirens ‘Unraveled’
Description
Not your typical boxwood—Unraveled® breaks all the rules in the best way. Instead of forming a tight, formal ball, this unique evergreen features a graceful, cascading habit with arching branches that spill and weave naturally through the landscape.
Its rich green foliage and sculptural form make it a standout accent plant, perfect for softening hard edges, trailing over walls, or adding movement to containers. Think classic boxwood—but loosened up, modernized, and way more interesting.
