Features
“Among a sea of green, Neatball® boxwood stands out in colder gardens. Selected for its exceptional hardiness, it will remain unblemished and dark green through the seasons. Its little habit is also naturally tidy. You can easily place it at the front of your garden without worrying about a strict maintenance schedule.” Proven Winners
B. 3 Dame’s Rockets

Size: 3′ – 4
“The plant reaches 3-4 feet tall and has showy flowers that last for several weeks. Dame’s rocket does best in moist, well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. It is a short-lived perennial, but a prolific self-seeder that has escaped cultivation and adapted throughout most of the United States.” University of Wisconsin
