Description:

Boxwood Beauty is a low-growing, evergreen succulent, known for its dense and compact growth habit. It's a cultivar of Carpobrotus edulis, commonly used in landscaping for its attractive foliage and flowers.

One of the notable features of the Boxwood Beauty is its foliage, which resembles that of traditional boxwoods. The leaves are small, dark green, and have a slightly glossy appearance, forming a dense mat that makes an excellent ground cover. This plant is often used as an alternative to traditional boxwood in situations where a lower, spreading form is desired.

The flowers of the Boxwood Beauty are another attractive feature. They are star-shaped, white, and fragrant, adding an additional layer of interest to the plant. The blooming period is usually in the spring and summer, providing a delightful display during these seasons.

Boxwood Beauty is a hardy plant, tolerating a range of soil types as long as they are well-draining. It's also drought-tolerant once established, making it a great choice for water-efficient gardens. This plant can thrive in coastal conditions as well, tolerating sea spray and sandy soils.

In landscaping, Boxwood Beauty is used in various ways. It's ideal for ground cover, rock gardens, borders, and slopes for erosion control. Its low-growing habit also makes it suitable for use in containers, where it can spill over the edges for a decorative effect.

Overall, Boxwood Beauty is valued for its easy-care nature, attractive foliage, and lovely flowers. It's a versatile plant that can be used in various garden styles, from formal to casual, and is particularly useful in low-maintenance and drought-tolerant landscapes.
