Green Gem Boxwood (Buxus × ‘Green Gem’)

Green Gem Boxwood (Buxus × ‘Green Gem’) is a compact, cold-hardy evergreen shrub valued for its dense, rounded growth habit and rich green foliage. This hybrid boxwood retains its colour well through winter, making it a reliable choice for year-round structure in Canadian landscapes.

Green Gem forms a naturally symmetrical mound with fine-textured leaves, making it ideal for low hedges, foundation plantings, edging, and formal garden designs. Its slow to moderate growth allows for easy maintenance and shaping, while its durability makes it well-suited to urban and residential settings.

Developed for improved cold tolerance, Green Gem performs reliably in Alberta when planted in sheltered locations with well-drained soil. It provides consistent structure and greenery in both traditional and modern landscapes.
