Buxus 'SB 300'
Choose NewGen® Freedom® Boxwood for a dependable evergreen hedge where disease resistance and faster fill matter most. The tradeoff: it is not the tightest small-space boxwood, so give it room or plan on regular pruning.
Buy This If
- You want a stronger boxwood hedge.
- You need fill faster than compact types.
- You prefer rounded evergreen structure.
Skip This If
- You need a very compact plant.
- You dislike pruning hedges.
- Your soil stays soggy.
PGNE Report Card
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B+ | It gives clean evergreen structure, but it is more of a backbone plant than a showpiece. |
| Growth Rate | B+ | It fills in faster than many boxwoods while still staying manageable with pruning. |
| Maintenance | B | It benefits from shaping if you want a crisp hedge, but it does not need fussy care. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | Boxwood is one of the most deer-resistant shrubs we grow; its foliage deters browsing, though no plant is fully immune. |
| Small Space Fit | C+ | Its vigor is useful for hedging but less convenient in tight beds. |
| Screening Value | B | It works well for lower screening and defined edges, not tall privacy coverage. |
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend NewGen® Freedom® Boxwood when a customer wants boxwood structure but is worried about disease pressure and slow fill. Give it space, prune with a plan, and avoid wet soil.

Customers Usually Ask
Is this better than older boxwoods?
For many New England hedges, yes, because disease resistance and vigor are the main reasons to buy it.
Can I keep it shaped?
Yes, but plan on pruning if you want a tight formal outline.
Will deer eat it?
Boxwood is generally a strong choice for deer resistance, though heavy pressure can still cause testing.
Why Choose Boxwoods for a Polished Landscape?
- Year-Round Evergreen Structure: Dense foliage maintains its rich green color through every season.
- Perfect for Hedges & Borders: Easily shaped and maintained for clean lines, formal gardens, or foundation plantings.
- Low Maintenance & Hardy: With proper placement, boxwoods require minimal upkeep and offer dependable performance.
