Description

Japanese Boxwood ‘Winter Gem’ is a compact, evergreen shrub valued for its dense growth habit and excellent winter color retention. Unlike many boxwoods, Winter Gem maintains rich green foliage through cooler months, making it a dependable year-round landscape plant. Its naturally rounded form and tolerance to pruning make it ideal for low hedges, borders, foundation plantings, and formal garden designs. Hardy and adaptable, this boxwood performs well in a range of climates and adds clean structure and timeless appeal to residential and commercial landscapes.


Choose a location with full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and plant at the same depth it was growing in its container. Backfill gently, firm the soil, and water thoroughly. Space plants according to desired hedge density. Apply mulch around the base to conserve moisture, keeping it away from the stems.


Japanese Boxwood ‘Winter Gem’ thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers evenly moist, well-draining soil. Water regularly during establishment, then moderately once established. Prune lightly as needed to maintain shape, ideally in late spring or early summer. Fertilize in spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer. This variety is heat-tolerant, cold-hardy, and low-maintenance once established.

Ideal for homeowners, landscapers, and property managers looking to improve their landscape with healthy, professionally grown plants. Perfect for creating privacy, shade, color, and structure while enhancing curb appeal and outdoor living spaces.
