NEW! Boxwood Winter Gem Buxus microphylla Winter Gem – This is considered the classic hedge plant in the four to six foot hedge range. When you think about defining or separating different spaces in the garden this is the boxwood for you. It can be used to hide a heat pump or foundation and is especially lovely against red brick. When used as a foundation plant it becomes beautiful background foliage for other colorful plant varieties. This is the boxwood that keeps its color over the winter months.

You’ll want to use color around this evergreen for contrast and separation. I suggest any red berried hollies for winter along with a few of the ornamental grasses. For the rest of the year any red flowering or red leaved plants make for a stunning appearance.

Care Instructions:

Follow a regular watering schedule during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Feed with a general purpose fertilizer before new growth begins in spring. For a tidy and neat appearance, shear annually to shape. Watering is reduced after establishment.
