Description
Green Gem Boxwood is a gorgeous, compact shrub beloved for its tightly packed, vibrant green foliage that retains its color all year long.

Its small stature also adapts beautifully to container plantings, offering a refined and inspiring appearance on patios or entryways.
General Care
- Sunlight: Thrives in partial to full sun, needing at least 4–6 hours of direct light daily.
- Soil: Prefers well-drained soil; incorporating organic matter can help promote healthy root growth.
- Watering: Water regularly during the first year to establish roots. Mature plants tolerate short dry spells but benefit from consistent moisture in prolonged heat.
- Mulching: A 2–3 inch layer of mulch helps conserve soil moisture and regulate temperature; keep mulch slightly away from the stems.
- Pruning: Minimal pruning is required to maintain its neat, rounded shape. If necessary, trim in late winter or early spring before new growth appears.
Green Gem Boxwood delivers a magnificent, year-round presence to Michigan landscapes, providing a refined touch and easy-care structure that remains effortlessly beautiful season after season.
