Wintergreen Boxwood: Cold-Hardy, Easy-to-Shape Evergreen
Why Wintergreen Boxwoods?
Create year-round structure with a cold-hardy evergreen shrub that stays tidy, compact, and easy to shape. The Wintergreen Boxwood, also known as Korean Boxwood, grows into a dense, rounded form with small, oval leaves that hold their rich green color through winter, giving your garden or landscape steady greenery when many other plants are bare. As the foliage matures, bright green hues darken slightly, creating a two-tone effect that adds depth to this ornamental shrub.
Its compact growth habit makes this boxwood well-suited for low hedges, formal hedges, foundation beds, walkway borders, patio containers, and clean edging along a fence or garden path. Plant several Wintergreen Boxwoods in a row for a classic hedge, use a pair in pots to frame an entryway, or shape them into topiary or even bonsai for a more polished look. Slow and steady growth of about 2 to 3 inches per year means it holds its form without constant pruning, maturing to roughly 3 feet tall with a 4 to 5 foot spread.
Wintergreen Boxwood is valued for its cold hardiness and its resistance to deer, all of which make it genuinely low-maintenance. It grows best in full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil. With the right care, this evergreen shrub brings dependable shape, texture, and green color to your outdoor space season after season.

Beautiful Boxwoods
All 5 plants I purchased are beautiful. They have been planted and are getting watered regularly while they get adjusted to their new surroundings. So far, so good.
Wonderful bushes
My youngest son bought "nana's house". It has always had hedge bushes outside big windows in front. Nana liked the bushes trimmed to below the windows. Sadly, we let them get way overgrown. Ended up removing all of the bushes. I have replaced a few of them and vow to keep them trimmed properly. Love the ease of buying from FGT. These little guys are going to make Nana proud, I'm sure.

Order four of there plants and all look amazing. Dispite the boxes getting a little banged up when delivered all my plants ordered look fantastic. Planted them for my self for Father’s Day and look forward to seeing them grow and full out!
Good Choice
Came very well packed and thankfully as the delivery person left the package on end, obviously could not read "Lay Flat"! Plants were all fresh and healthy.
