Fine Texture + Evergreen Foliage
Why Baby Gem™ Boxwood Shrubs?
Easy-growing perfection in a classic evergreen package: The Baby Gem™ Boxwood boasts all the benefits of the timeless shrub in a redefined, improved growth habit. Introduced in 2010, the Baby Gem is crafted for a graceful look, with small leaves and finely-textured foliage for a well-curated appearance.
Though the Baby Gem’s mature foliage is dark green in hue, new leaves with a cheery yellow tint, nearly-chartreuse, emerge in spring. This sleek shrub’s neat and tidy growth habit boasts even more visual depth as a result. Plus, because its foliage reaches the ground, it’s packed tightly in a dense, full-coverage silhouette.
And you get a manicured appearance without the fuss. Although this boxwood can be pruned and shaped, it grows naturally into a modernized, polished silhouette. The Baby Gem is like instant curb appeal, taking flower beds and foundations to the next level, as well as porches and patios when planted in a container.

Boxwoods arrived sad but perking up
I got 8 of these boxwoods and a tree…. The shrubs were tightly packaged and a few of them had squished/broken limbs. Some were perfectly round and full, but the other few don’t look as nice. I planted them a couple weeks ago and then seem to be doing well enough. I’ll update again soon to see how well they are growing
Arrived packed well, but do
Arrived packed well, but do think shipper taped the box after damage at fedex. They look healthy and just what was ordered. We haven’t had a chance to plant because it’s been rainy in Oklahoma. Can’t wait to get the boxwoods in their spot and hopefully in a few years get the hedge we wanted.
