FRANKLINS GEM KOREAN BOXWOOD

Buxus microphylla sinica var. insularis 'Franklin's Gem' is commonly referred to as Franklin's Gem Korean Boxwood or Franklin's Gem Japanese Boxwood. It is a low-spreading, very compact, mounding evergreen shrub with small, bright green leaves that age to olive green in late fall and winter. This deer resistant selection is considered to be the hardiest of boxwoods and can be sheared easily.

Franklin's Gem Boxwood thrives in full to partial sun in average, evenly moist, well-drained soils. It is ideal for mass plantings, borders, edging and topiary and container gardening.

Planting Tips ⓘ

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in well-draining soil, selecting a location that offers full sun to partial shade. Buxus varieties are known for their shallow root systems, so consistent watering is vital to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during the first growing season. Prune as needed in late spring or early summer to maintain your desired form, avoiding late-season pruning which can stimulate new growth susceptible to winter damage.
