Description
Perfect for small gardens and formal landscapes, Baby Gem™ Boxwood forms a dense, rounded mound of rich green foliage. New growth emerges chartreuse in spring, adding a fresh pop of color before maturing to a deep evergreen shade. Its compact size and slow growth make it ideal for low hedges, borders, and topiary.
Boxwood shrubs are a timeless choice for New England landscapes, offering year-round greenery and structure. Their small, glossy leaves remain vibrant through the cold Massachusetts winters, making them a reliable choice for foundation plantings. Drought-tolerant and adaptable, boxwoods thrive in well-drained soil and respond well to pruning, allowing for endless design possibilities.
Each plant comes in a #2 (2 gallon) growers container. The image shown represents an example of what you may receive. Please note that the height, shape, and fullness of each plant may vary due to natural growth patterns. Rest assured, we will select the healthiest and most vibrant plant for you.
