Cold Hardy, Versatile Evergreen Growth

Why Wintergreen Boxwoods?

The cold hardy Wintergreen Boxwood, also known as Korean Boxwood, is an incredibly versatile shrub. It adds appeal to casual or formal landscape designs, and when grouped, Wintergreen complements most any garden and looks fantastic in decorative pots to accent a deck or patio.

Plus, it's compact and easy to shape. This evergreen, dense shrub performs like a superstar when shaped into topiary designs or even bonsai art. The slow-growing Wintergreen Boxwood typically gains only 2 to 3 inches annually, maturing to heights of about 3 feet with a 4 to 5 foot spread with little upkeep.

What is a Jumbo Wintergreen Boxwood Shrub?

Jumbo shrubs are the most mature shrubs offered at Fast Growing Trees. Thanks to their well-developed root systems and large container size, they provide excellent drought resistance and improved nutrient absorption. Jumbos are ideal for creating immediate privacy and adding fullness to your garden beds without the wait.

Grown in limited quantities, Jumbo shrubs are perfect for homeowners who want fast results and a lasting impression in their landscape.

Why Fast-Growing-Trees.com is Better

For starters, our Wintergreen Boxwood is great-looking, with oval leaves that feature a finely-textured look as their bright green hues darken slightly with age. An ongoing two-tone feature of bright and dark green foliage adds depth to this ornamental shrub.

But aside from its beauty and adaptable, hassle-free growth (with pest, deer and disease resistance), it's just as easy to grow for the beginning gardener as for the novice grower. That's because we've planted, grown and nurtured it for top perks and a healthy root system. No need to visit big box...we've done the hard work at the nursery so that you get a ready-to-grow specimen that arrives right at your door.

So, enjoy the vibrant green color all year. Experiment with creating different shapes, effortlessly. Get your own Wintergreen Boxwood today!

Not only did i buy over 200 of these, ive bought 50 gardina, hydrangeas, trees and on and on. I never lose plants ordered from you. I stopped using the box stores and th local nurseries who dont guarantee their product like you. Also your customer service team is there to help always. I just dealt with Mae and she was awesome

boxwood shrub

The boxwood shrub came professionally packaged for shipping. The healthy looking shrubs are 2 ft or so including the pot (I didn't measure them) with approximately 1 foot of green shrub. They will be transplanted to their final destination within the week when the weather breaks. They they were unwrapped and watered and are hardening off outside in the box out of the wind but with sun exposure. I'm excited to plant these boxwood shrubs and will follow up in a month or so to report back. I forgot to use the Duck Call room discount when I purchased them. Oh Well , next time.
