Quick Overview
The Boxwood Dee Runk, Buxus s. 'Dee Runk', is a larger growing boxwood that forms a upright, tall tight column up to 10 feet, yet only 2 feet wide. It grows almost 6 inches a year and the dark glossy leaves can get 1 inch long and 3/8 inch wide. Dee Runk can provide a dramatic garden accent or be spaced apart in a row like columns at the back of a border. As the plants develop they take on the look of exclamation points, especially if planted near small rounded shrubs or perennials. Plant in sun to shade, and Dee Runk is tolerant of clay soil. It's form is more attractive being wider at the bottom than at the top. Use in informal or formal gardens.
