Narrative
Full name as recorded at the U.S. National Arboretum: Buxus sempervirens (undetermined cultivar). Six old, more or less identical-looking plants are growing in beds AZ-MO-NW and AZ-MO-SW just above the upper wall of the Morrison Garden; they do not appear to have been documented previously. Three plants of each are evenly spaced along the wall in both beds, and the plants are taller than wide. They appear typical at first glance, but multiple plants have occasional sprigs with variegation suggesting 'Argenteovariegata'. It is possible that they were originally this cultivar, but have mostly reverted to green. Most of the plants are looking fairly sparse.
