BABY GEM™ BOXWOOD
Buxus microphylla japonica 'Gregem' PP21159 is commonly referred to as Baby Gem™ Boxwood. This is a staple plant for all types of landscapes. Baby Gem™ features a dense mound of dark green leaves that hold its vivid green color throughout the year. It is both deer resistance and drought tolerant and it requires less pruning than other varieties, making it perfect for containers.
Baby Gem™ Boxwood is a slow-grower that thrives in full sun to part shade in average, well-drained soils. It usually grows about 6 inches or less per year and is quite low maintenance and pest resistant. Baby Gem is excellent for borders and hedging. It lends itself perfectly to be manicured to suit your landscape needs.
