Product Description

Add year-round structure and timeless elegance to your garden with Buxus ‘Wintergreen’, commonly known as Wintergreen Boxwood.

Why Choose Wintergreen Boxwood?

  • Year-Round Color: Retains its rich green foliage throughout winter, providing consistent structure and interest.
  • Adaptable Growth Habit: Naturally rounded but responds well to pruning, making it ideal for hedges, topiaries, or formal designs.
  • Low Maintenance: Thrives in various light conditions and adapts to a wide range of soils with minimal care.
  • Cold-Hardy: Performs well in colder climates, maintaining its vibrant color and shape through harsh winters.

Cultivation Tips

  • Sunlight Needs: Prefers partial shade to full sun; morning sun with afternoon shade is ideal in hotter climates.
  • Soil Preferences: Grows best in well-drained soils with a neutral to slightly acidic pH; avoid heavy, waterlogged conditions.

Pair it with flowering shrubs like Hydrangeas or perennials like Lavender for a classic combination of textures and colors. Its evergreen foliage also provides a lush backdrop for seasonal blooms.

Ecological Benefits

While primarily used for structure and design, Buxus ‘Wintergreen’ provides shelter and nesting opportunities for small birds and wildlife. Its dense growth helps improve air quality by filtering pollutants, making it a valuable addition to eco-conscious landscapes.
