Know before you buy
This variety typically reaches a mature height of 3 to 4 feet. Its moderate growth rate makes it easy to manage for formal borders or low hedges.
Not at all. The Wintergreen Boxwood naturally maintains a dense, mushroom-like shape, so it requires very little pruning to look tidy and structured.
One of the primary benefits of this variety is its ability to hold a rich, vibrant green color throughout the winter, unlike some other boxwood cultivars that may bronze in colder temperatures.
These shrubs perform best in full sun and require well-drained, moist soil. Ensure your planting site has good drainage to prevent water from pooling around the roots.
This shrub is hardy in planting zones 4 through 9. It is particularly well-suited for Southern gardens, though it remains a reliable performer across a wide range of climates.
