Green Gem Boxwood 1 Live Evergreen Shrub – Buxus ‘Green Gem’ – 1 Gallon Pot

Green Gem Boxwood (Buxus ‘Green Gem’) is a compact, broadleaf evergreen shrub valued for its naturally rounded form and dense, finely textured green foliage. Its small, glossy leaves create a neat appearance throughout the year, making it a popular choice for formal garden designs, low hedges, foundation plantings, and ornamental borders.

This slow-growing boxwood develops a symmetrical, globe-shaped habit with closely spaced branches and rich green foliage. Its compact form makes it suitable for defining walkways, framing garden beds, and creating structured accents in mixed landscapes. Small, inconspicuous yellowish-green flowers may appear in spring, although the foliage is its primary ornamental feature.

This listing includes one live Green Gem Boxwood in a 1 gallon nursery pot, measuring approximately 8 inches tall at the time of shipping. Green Gem Boxwood performs best in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil with moderate moisture. It is suitable for in-ground landscaping and outdoor containers.
