Boxwood 'Winter Gem'
Categories
Shrubs‘Winter Gem’ is a round-shaped cultivar that is relatively vigorous. Great plant to fill space quickly. It has very vigorous growth habit that can get rather wiry but it can be controlled with a good pair of hedge shears. It tolerates a wide range of sites and uses. New foliage emerges a lime-green color and transitions to a deep, glossy green. It has a tendency to bronze when exposed to direct winter sun but the bronzing will quickly disappear in spring as temperatures rise and as new growth emerges.
