Buxus 'Green Gem'

Queenstown Nursery

Buxus 'Green Gem' is a compact, slow-growing evergreen shrub renowned for its dense, glossy green foliage and neat, naturally rounded form. Perfect for Central Otago landscapes, this versatile box variety retains its rich green colour throughout winter, resisting the bronzing that can affect other box hedges in cold climates. Its fine-textured leaves and naturally tight habit make it an exceptional choice for formal hedging, topiary or defining structured garden borders.

This hardy shrub typically grows up to a manageable 0.5 - 0.8m in height and width, making it ideal for low hedges and small space plantings. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and performs best in well-drained soil, showing excellent tolerance to frost, wind and cold conditions once established. Low maintenance and easy to shape, Buxus 'Green Gem' responds exceptionally well to clipping to maintain clean, geometric lines.

Choose Buxus 'Green Gem' for a dependable, cold-hardy evergreen that provides year-round structure, lush colour and timeless elegance in classic or modern landscaping designs.
