Green Mountain Boxwood
Buxus x 'Green Mountain'The Boxwood ‘Green Mountain’ (Buxus × ‘Green Mountain’) is a classic evergreen shrub admired for its upright, pyramidal form and dense, rich green foliage. A member of the hardy Green Series, this boxwood maintains its vibrant color throughout the year, even in colder climates where other varieties may bronze. Growing to about 3–5 feet tall and 2–3 feet wide, it’s perfect for creating formal hedges, accent plantings, or sculpted topiary forms.
‘Green Mountain’ is an excellent choice for adding structure, symmetry, and texture to both traditional and modern landscapes. Its slow growth rate and naturally tidy shape make it low-maintenance and easy to manage. Thriving in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil, this variety is both hardy and versatile. Whether used as a single specimen or planted in rows for a formal hedge, the Green Mountain Boxwood offers timeless beauty and year-round garden appeal.
Care Instructions
