Winter Gem Boxwood
Winter Gem Boxwood
Noted for keeping its good green color through winter (while most boxwood have a tendency to "bronze" which makes them look like they have severe winter freeze damage).

Use as a low, formal hedge, or mass together for an excellent ground cover. Mature at 2-3' tall and 2-3' wide. Neither deer nor rabbits will eat Winter Gem. Recommended for zones 5-9.
