Wintergreen Boxwood

The tough and robust Wintergreen Boxwood (known also as the Korean Boxwood) is an extremely adaptable shrub that makes a fashionable addition to any landscape design.

Wintergreen Boxwood gives you lush green foliage when young that darkens slightly with age. Oval leaves are petite and dainty, lending a smooth-textured look and feel to this decorative shrub.

This evergreen responds favorably to clipping and is commonly shaped into round spheres, square cubes, or ovals. When grouped, any or all of these specific shapes will add an elegant sense of style and grace to most any garden plan.

They also look fantastic in decorative pots used for accent on a terrace or patio.

When grown in rows, the Wintergreen Boxwood becomes a hedge that can be neatly shaped to create an appealing border or foundation accent. You’ll often see this hedge used as a backdrop for lower-growing perennials.

If planting space is at a premium, the smaller scale of the Wintergreen Boxwood provides a perfectly proportioned design element for a chic and sophisticated look. It only grows up to 2-4 ft. tall, so it can grow almost anywhere. Flank your home’s entryway or add a few around your patio. The possibilities are endless.

The slow-growing Wintergreen Boxwood typically gains only 2-3 inches annually, reaching heights of just 2-4 feet with a 3-5 foot spread.

Flourishing in growing zones 5-8, the Wintergreen Boxwood keeps its vivid green color, even during winter months when other Boxwoods can yellow. Adaptable to most soil types, deer and disease resistant and low-maintenance--this shrub is a smart choice to ground a landscape design.

This is a great choice for beginners, as it will perform flawlessly with little effort!
