Wintergreen Boxwood

Wintergreen Boxwood — The Classic Evergreen Foundation of a Well-Designed Garden

Some plants provide color. Some provide fragrance. The Wintergreen Boxwood provides something rarer and more valuable: structure. Its dense, rich-green foliage holds its color through every season — including winter, when most of the garden has gone quiet — making it the backbone of borders, the definition of pathways, and the frame that makes everything else in the garden look intentional.

Why It Belongs in Every Garden

• Year-Round Evergreen Foliage: Rich, deep green leaves that stay vibrant through summer heat and winter cold — consistent, reliable structure 365 days a year.
• Ideal for Hedges, Topiaries & Borders: Dense, fine-textured growth responds beautifully to shaping — clip it into formal hedges, geometric topiaries, or soft rounded mounds, or let it grow naturally for a relaxed look.
• Compact & Versatile: Naturally tidy growth habit suits foundation plantings, pathway edging, container displays, and small garden beds equally well.
• Drought-Tolerant & Pest-Resistant: Once established, it handles dry spells with ease and is naturally resistant to most common shrub pests.
• Available with Premium Planters: Pair with a Hyde (Mint or Black) or Grant (Black or Cream) planter for a polished, ready-to-display container presentation.

Growing Guide

• Light: Full sun to part shade
• Water: Regular watering until established; drought-tolerant thereafter
• Hardiness: USDA Zones 4–9
• Mature Size: 2–4 ft. tall × 3–4 ft. wide (varies by pruning)
• Pruning: Best shaped in late spring after new growth hardens; avoid pruning in late fall

Plant a row along a path, clip them into matching spheres flanking a front door, or use them to edge a perennial border — wherever you need the garden to feel finished and considered, Wintergreen Boxwood delivers.
