Expert Gardener 2.25gal Boxwood Winter Gem Live Shrub Plant Sun

The Expert Gardener 2.25-Gallon Boxwood Winter Gem Live Shrub is a versatile evergreen prized for its dense, glossy green foliage and naturally rounded growth habit. Known as one of the most reliable boxwood varieties, Winter Gem maintains its rich color year-round and responds well to pruning, making it perfect for shaping into hedges, borders, or topiary forms. It thrives in USDA Hardiness Zones 5–9, growing best in full sun to partial shade, and prefers moist, well-drained soil enriched with organic matter. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish roots, then reduce frequency as the shrub matures. With its compact habit reaching 4–6 feet tall and wide, this evergreen shrub is ideal for foundation plantings, decorative containers, privacy screens, or formal garden designs, where it provides structure and lush greenery throughout the year. This variety is valued for its low-maintenance care, adaptability, and ability to deliver reliable beauty in every season.
