Introducing the Winter Gem Boxwood, a charming addition to any garden. Known for its lush, year-round foliage and easy-to-shape form, this evergreen shrub is perfect for adding structure and beauty to your outdoor space. Let's explore what makes this plant a must-have:

Benefits:

  • Year-Round Color: The Winter Gem Boxwood maintains its rich green hue through every season, ensuring your garden looks vibrant even in the depths of winter.
  • Easy to Shape: Its dense, compact growth makes it ideal for topiary, hedges, and borders. Trim it into any shape you desire for a customized look.
  • Low Maintenance: This resilient shrub is drought-tolerant and pest-resistant, making it a breeze to care for.
  • Versatile Placement: Perfect for foundation plantings, edging, or as a focal point in mixed borders.

Planting and Care Tips:

Winter Gem Boxwoods thrive in full sun to partial shade and prefer well-drained soil. Plant them about 2-3 feet apart for a hedge or closer for a denser appearance. Regular watering is crucial during the first year to establish a robust root system. Once established, these boxwoods are quite drought-tolerant, requiring minimal upkeep.

Ideal for Containers and Indoor Spaces:

Not just for the garden, Winter Gem Boxwoods also thrive in containers, making them perfect for patios and balconies. With their evergreen nature, they can even bring a touch of greenery to indoor spaces if provided with ample light.
