Korean Boxwood 'Wintergreen'
Buxus sinica var. insularis ‘Wintergreen’ (Korean Boxwood) is a vigorous, rounded, evergreen shrub with a lush foliage of small, glossy, light green leaves. The foliage retains its color reasonably well throughout the winter. Tough, hardy and easy to grow, this Boxwood provides color year-round, as well as form, texture and contrast to its companion plants. Fast-growing, 4-6 in. per year (10-15 cm), it is perfect as a specimen or for a low hedge.
