DESCRIPTION
Buxus microphylla var. japonica 'Winter Gem' forms dense branching covered with small, oval leaves that remain rich green through the growing season and often deepen to bronze tones in cooler weather. The fine-textured foliage creates a smooth, compact surface along the stems, giving the plant a neat, structured presence throughout the year. In spring, tiny yellow-green flowers appear tucked among the leaves, adding a light fragrance and subtle seasonal detail within the evergreen canopy.
Derived from Buxus microphylla var. japonica native to Japan, this cultivated selection has become widely used in ornamental landscapes. In gardens it provides dependable evergreen structure for borders, foundation plantings, and formal designs where the dense foliage works well for hedges and shaped plantings.
