There are many reasons a boxwood may not be the best choice for a garden or landscape despite its classic appeal. Besides the big issues like boxwood blight and box tree moth, winter discoloration, winter damage in cold climates, shallow roots, the odor of some species, and a lack of noticeable flowers are all common reasons someone may want to opt for a boxwood alternative over a boxwood. 

The Proven Winners® ColorChoice® Boxwood Alternatives program includes evergreens that give a similar look, and are a similar size and shape as boxwood without the shortcomings.
