Winter Gem Boxwood (Buxus microphylla var. japonica ‘Winter Gem’) is a cold-hardy, rounded boxwood with rich green foliage that turns slightly bronze in winter, then greens up again in spring. This slow-growing shrub is easy to shape and ideal for low hedges, foundation beds, and formal borders. It’s deer-resistant, low-maintenance, and performs well in full sun to part shade. Winter Gem tolerates pruning exceptionally well, making it a go-to choice for creating clean lines and year-round structure in the landscape.
