Buxus 'Green Mountain': Cold-Hardy Boxwood for Structure

Buxus sempervirens 'Green Mountain' – Reliable Evergreen Structure

This upright, oval, dark green boxwood grows to about 3 feet high and wide, making it ideal for hedging, topiary, or border accents. Grown primarily for its handsome evergreen foliage rather than its inconspicuous spring flowers.

Why 'Green Mountain'?

Noted for good cold hardiness and a naturally mounded habit. The dark green leaves hold color well through winter.

Care Notes

In windy sites, young plants may need burlap wrapping or anti-desiccant spray in winter. Propagate via semi-ripe cuttings in summer or grafting in winter.

Common Issues

Powdery mildew, canker, root rot, dieback, leaf spot; leaf miner, scale, caterpillars, psyllids, mites. Foliage can winter-burn in exposed locations.
