(Pyracomeles) Looking for an evergreen boxwood alternative? Check out Pyracomeles Berry Box. This compact evergreen shrub stands 24-42 inches tall and spreads to 36 inches wide. The evergreen foliage forms a weeping mounding habit, you can trim it to shape into a globe if you prefer. In the spring tiny white flowers emerge followed by a beautiful display of reddish-orange berries. Hardy in zones (6b) 7-9, Pyracomeles Berry Box® likes to be grown in full sun to part sun locations with well-drained soil. This compact, heat-tolerant evergreen is easy to care for and makes a great border, low hedge, or foundation planting. Unlike some boxwood, it is disease resistant and carefree. Little pruning is needed, but if you want to shape it, we recommend doing so after its first flush of new spring growth. Pyracomeles Berry Box® is a Proven Winners® ColorChoice® Flowering Shrub.
