Green Gem Boxwood — Buxus 'Green Gem'

Green Gem Boxwood (Buxus 'Green Gem') is an outstanding compact, slow-growing evergreen shrub prized for its dense, rounded habit and exceptionally rich emerald green foliage that maintains its vibrant color through winter with superior resistance to winter burn — one of the most reliable and handsome boxwood varieties available for hedges, foundation plantings, formal borders, and containers in cold climates. The naturally mounding, globe-shaped form requires minimal pruning to maintain its tidy appearance, making it an ideal low-maintenance choice for formal and informal garden settings alike. Small, insignificant flowers appear in spring. Drought-tolerant once established, Green Gem Boxwood thrives in full to part sun with moist, slightly acidic, well-drained soils. Shows good resistance to leaf miner, psyllids, and mites. Hardy to Zone 4.
