Description
Similar in habit to other Korean Boxwoods, ‘Gordo’ stands out from the rest and wins the medal for having the largest leaves. A classic rounded boxwood, Gordo is a compact selection to 3 to 4 feet tall and wide so is perfect for home foundation plantings. If left unpruned its dark green scalloped leaves have a fluffy appearance however responds very well to shearing for tight, formal hedges or shapes such as pyramid, globe, square or oval. In spring, small yellow flowers add a nice and delicate fragrance in the garden. A fine selection for garden beds or containers.
Landscape & Garden Uses
With no pruning, the Gordo Boxwood grows to about 4 feet tall and equally as wide however can be kept at 3 feet or so with occasional pruning for formal hedges and topiary shapes. It is a nice accent in smaller garden spaces or can be effective in groupings, as a hedge, or to accentuate entryways in larger landscape borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to formal gardens and topiary gardens.
Suggested Spacing:Â 48 inches for solid hedges;Â 6 feet or more for space between plants

Growing Preferences
The Gordo Boxwood is easy to grow in most any moist but well drained soil of average fertility and full to mostly sun. Has good drought tolerance when established but will appreciate an occasional watering during extended periods of dry weather. As with many other plants, a constantly soggy or wet soil can be problematic. In our gardens, we’ve found it to have better drought, heat and pest tolerance than many other boxwood.
