Baby Gem Boxwood

This fine-textured broadleaf evergreen grows as tall as it is wide, reaching a maintainable size of 3 feet and resembling a little green muffin. It’s an exceptionally compact boxwood excellent for use in smaller gardens for borders and focal areas. Densely branched, the tiny, black-green foliage is abundant and adds a distinctive note to the landscape, retaining its color particularly well in winter. The slow rate of growth makes these boxwoods ideal for carefree edging in a wide area of the U.S. The extremely small leaves of Baby Gem Boxwood are in perfect scale for Garden-gauge or G-gauge model train set-ups and bonsai enthusiasts. Other splendid characteristics include deer resistance and tolerance of dry soils once established.
