About this plant

Wintergreen Boxwood Shrub Details

 Wintergreen Boxwood - Buxus Sinica Var. Insularis

The Wintergreen Boxwood 6-10" (Buxus sinica var. insularis) is a favorite for ornamental gardeners. This robust cultivar is native to the Korean peninsula and parts of northeastern China. ‘Korean Boxwood’ is another common name for this robust cultivar paying homage to the region in which it is native.

In Korea, it was cultivated to be extremely robust in cold climates. As such, its rich green foliage is maintained year-round, even in harsh winter conditions. If you are located in a northern region, this boxwood has been cultivated to be less prone to browning in the wintertime than other boxwoods. 

Plant Details - Wintergreen Boxwood Plants 6-10"

Family: Buxaceae (Boxwood family)

Hardiness Zones: 4–9

Light Requirement: Full Sun to Partial Shade

Water Needs: Average

Height: 2–4 ft

Spread: 3–5 ft

Growth Rate: Slow

Bloom Time: Spring

Wildlife Value: Provides shelter for small wildlife

It is evergreen and will maintain its dense, rich green, lustrous foliage year-round. Low growing, it reaches about 4 ft in height and has a spread of about 5 ft. The new growth stems have a shiny, greenish-golden color, maturing to woody and robust branches. The flowers are small and creamy-white in color. While they are attractive to pollinators, they hold little ornamental value.

The Wintergreen Boxwood 6-10" is well-known for its ease of shaping. Its compact growth makes it ideal for short hedges, pathway borders, and low-rising topiary specimens for formal gardens.

Landscape Uses and Maintenance - Wintergreen Boxwood Plants 6-10"

It is easy to grow, extremely cold-hardy, and resilient across many climatic conditions. It grows well in moist, well-drained soils. This evergreen is drought-tolerant; however, to maintain lush and healthy foliage, it should be watered during dry periods. Mulch this plant yearly to maintain soil moisture. Plant in full sun to partial shade. Plants will grow in the shade, but not as vigorously and with sparser foliage.

Wintergreen Boxwood is deer and rabbit resistant; however, it can be susceptible to box sucker, box red spider mites, and leaf spot. Pruning encourages new and healthy growth, so be sure to prune after the last frost date so that new growth is not damaged by cold weather. It can be propagated by semi-hardwood cuttings.
