Buxus microphylla japonica 'Winter Gem' (Globe) is a hardy evergreen shrub from the much-loved Buxaceae family, popularly known as Winter Gem Boxwood. What sets this plant apart is its uniquely compact, globe-like form, adorned with tiny, ovate leaves that radiate a glossy, dark green glow. This shapely beauty shows resilience through all seasons, famously keeping its rich color alive through even the harshest of winters, while also thriving under the summer sun. Modest in size, yet packing an aesthetic punch, the Winter Gem expands up to 4 to 6 feet in height and spread. Perfectly suited for hedges, defining borders, or as a stand-alone statement piece, this plant is a garden all-rounder. Its penchant for pruning and shaping adds to its appeal in formal and classical garden settings, while its pleas for well-drained soil and a thirst for partial to full sunlight make it a valuable addition to any green space. With the welcomed benefit of pest resistance and a moderate salt tolerance, this gem of a boxwood cultivar ensures year-round foliage color and provide a consistent green hue to your garden.
