Title: Can anyone ID this plant?
Post by: AllThatJazzZ on April 21, 2022, 03:09:50 pm
I know I'm on the wrong board, but I hoped to get as many eyeballs as possible so I can (1) get the correct name of this plant (my phone keeps ID'ing it as a different plant every time I use the identification feature  9999hair out0000), and (2) find the knowledgeable gardeners on the board. For some perspective, the pic is taken very close up. It has been planted for only about a month.

Admins, please feel free to move it when you need to, but take your time.  :seeya:

Seen the landscaping cover around it, so figured it was a purchased plant and checked the gardening catalogues.

Closest I could see was some kind of boxwood:

It does look like a boxwood. We have 3 or 4 of them in front of the house.

Could be a spirea of some kind too - Lime or maybe little princess, or a young froebelli... can't tell from the pic if it has variegated leaves or not..
