Newport Blue is one of those plants that has been around forever but hasn’t received the attention that it deserves. It first appeared in the Boulevard Nursery catalog in 1941, it is a slow growing common box that maintains glossy, bluish-green evergreen foliage most of the year. Upright growing as a young plant, it becomes broader than tall as it ages (>15 years).
