Plant Features
Buxus 'Green Gem' Boxwood is well-known for its evergreen broadleaf foliage, naturally rounded shape, dark glossy leaves and its winter hardiness. You can expect richly-colored, emerald green foliage in spring through fall with maybe a little bronzing in the winter. Green Gem makes the perfect topiary sphere or can be used in its more natural form as a hedge-row or garden partition.
