Cami, you might have better luck with dwarf ilex vomitoria.
(dwarf yaupon holly)

Dear Cami,
"Candy is dandy, but liquor is quicker." Boxwood is easy to propagate, but very slow growing. If you root small boxwood cuttings for your landscaping project, you will be rocking on the retirement home's front porch before those boxwoods are large enough to make a showing in your garden. Shell out the cash to buy nursery-grown boxwoods; or as Dottie suggested, use some other shrub that doesn't take a lifetime to attain a little size.
