Densely branched, the tiny, green foliage is abundant and adds a distinctive note to the landscape. The exceptionally compact dwarf form of Baby Gem Boxwood is great for smaller gardens.
Uses
Use in groupings, low shrub borders, natural hedge, clipped formal hedge, home foundation plantings, container gardens, Asian theme gardens, cottage gardens, formal landscapes, English gardens, and just about anywhere that get full or half sun.
Culture & Care Tips
Prefers well drained soil. Does not require pruning, however, with regular pruning can be maintained as a beautiful low hedge. Water as needed until established.

Bought this a few months ago for my front yard and planted right away. It is doing excellent and growing perfect.
Planted these as a boarder and they are doing very well so far. I've had boxwoods before but they did not make it. Hoping these will be a different story they arrived very green and looking healthy trying to keep them that way.
Very happy at how fast my Boxwood arrived and the healthy condition it was in. After having bad luck with other websites i was nervous but you changed my mind. Will be using again in the near future!
