Boxwood 'Wintergreen'

Categories

Shrubs

‘Wintergreen’ is a vigorous, winter-hardy cultivar that is ideal when a medium to large foundation plant is desired. It is a great choice when you want to fill a space quickly. It is great for use in medium-sized hedges and is very tolerant of pruning or shearing. If left unpruned, a vigorous plant can become wiry but the plant will respond very well to hedge shears. It has a tendency to bronze when exposed to direct winter sun but the bronzing will quickly disappear as temperatures rise in spring and as new growth emerges.
