Buxus microphylla var. japonica 'Wintergreen'

 

Wintergreen Boxwood exhibits elegant small oval foliage with dynamic seasonal color progression—emerging in lighter green tones before maturing to deep, rich coloration. This cultivar accommodates both formal pruning and natural growth habits, offering design flexibility across landscape applications. Its vigorous growth rate of 4 to 6 inches annually establishes medium to large specimens relatively quickly, while late winter and early spring pruning maintains desired architectural form. In colder climates, sheltered positioning protects against harsh winter winds that can damage exposed foliage. The combination of refined leaf texture, adaptable growth habit, and reliable performance makes it an exceptional choice for formal hedging, screening, and specimen applications.
