How big does Winter Gem Boxwood grow?
It typically grows 3 to 4 feet tall and wide, forming a dense, rounded shrub that holds its shape beautifully without constant trimming.
What kind of light and soil does it prefer?
It thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil. It tolerates a wide range of soil types as long as drainage is good — soggy roots are its only complaint.
How often should I prune or shape it?
Prune lightly in late spring or early summer to maintain its form. Avoid shearing during extreme heat or frost — timing matters more than effort with this one.
Does it need special care or protection?
Minimal. Mulch around the base to keep roots cool, avoid fertilizer overload, and provide good air circulation to prevent leaf spot. It’s low-maintenance by design.
