Buxus microphylla var. koreana 'Wintergreen', commonly known as Wintergreen Boxwood, is a reliable, evergreen shrub offering year-round interest. Its dense, bright green foliage retains its vibrant color throughout winter, unlike many other boxwoods, making it a preferred choice for landscape designs. This compact, hardy variety has exceptional cold tolerance and is adaptable to various planting settings, such as hedges, borders, or foundation plantings, with beautiful structure whether trimmed or left natural. Its slow-growing nature and tolerance for pruning make it ideal for formal gardens or container planting.
