Wintergreen Korean Boxwood (Buxus microphylla var. koreana 'Wintergreen')

Wintergreen Korean Boxwood is a cold-hardy evergreen shrub valued for its dense habit, dependable winter color, and strong year-round structure. Its rounded to broad-mounded form makes it especially useful in foundation beds, low hedges, border edging, and formal plantings where a polished look matters in every season. Because it stays relatively compact while still spreading enough to create a full, finished appearance, it works especially well in residential landscapes that need structure without bulk. This is a strong choice for gardeners who want an easy-care evergreen that offers lasting form and a reliable focal point in every season.

Distinctive Features

This broadleaf evergreen shrub forms a dense, compact, many-branched mound of small dark green foliage that remains attractive through the year. It is especially valued for holding its green color through winter better than many boxwoods, which makes it especially useful in colder climates where winter bronzing can be a problem. Compared to taller or more upright boxwood selections, Wintergreen offers a lower, broader silhouette that works well in edging, low hedges, and layered evergreen plantings. Its dense branching and slow to moderate growth help it maintain a refined appearance with relatively little shaping.

Growing Conditions

  • Sun: Plant in full sun to part shade for the best density and overall performance.
  • Soil: Provide moist, well-drained soil, ideally sandy loam, and avoid constantly wet or poorly drained sites.
  • Water: Water regularly during establishment, then maintain moderate supplemental watering during dry periods.
  • Zones: Hardy in USDA Zones 5 to 9.
  • Mature Size: Reaches about 2 to 4 feet tall and 3 to 5 feet wide.
  • Habit: Grows in a dense, compact, rounded to broad-mounded form.

Ideal Uses

  • Focal Point: Use it as a focal point in smaller foundation beds or formal borders where its dense evergreen form can anchor the planting year-round.
  • Low Hedges: Plant it in rows to create neat low hedges with a clean, finished appearance.
  • Border Edging: Add it along walks and garden edges where its compact habit helps define spaces clearly.
  • Foundation Plantings: Use it around entryways, porches, and front beds where evergreen structure is needed without excessive height.
  • Northern Landscapes: Include it in colder-climate gardens where strong winter reliability and reduced discoloration are especially important.

Low Maintenance Care

  • Watering: Keep soil evenly moist during establishment, then water during prolonged dry periods if needed.
  • Pruning: Prune lightly in late spring or early summer if shaping is needed, though its natural habit is already useful and attractive.
  • Mulching: Apply mulch around the root zone to help conserve soil moisture and moderate soil temperature.
  • Placement: Shelter from harsh winter wind where possible to help preserve foliage quality and reduce winter stress.
  • Air Circulation: Maintain good spacing and airflow to support long-term plant health and cleaner foliage.

Why Choose Wintergreen Korean Boxwood?

  • Strong Winter Color: It is valued for keeping an attractive green look through winter better than many other boxwoods.
  • Cold Hardiness: It is especially useful in northern climates where winter reliability matters.
  • Evergreen Structure: Dense foliage provides year-round form and visual continuity in the landscape.
  • Compact Habit: Its manageable mature size makes it easy to use in tighter spaces and more detailed planting designs.
  • Versatile Use: It works well in hedges, borders, foundation beds, and formal garden layouts.
  • Deer Resistance: It is generally considered deer resistant, which adds practical value in many landscapes.

Wintergreen Korean Boxwood is an easy way to add lasting structure, evergreen color, and a more finished look to the landscape without relying on an oversized shrub. Its dependable winter performance makes it especially useful where cold weather can limit other evergreen options. With full sun to part shade, well-drained soil, and occasional shaping, it offers strong performance year after year. It is a practical evergreen for adding order, texture, and a reliable focal point to the garden.

Uses same battery as the rest of my equipment
Size: 8" Edger New
Since I already have and like the Greenworks mower, string trimmer and blower it only made sense to get the edger. Even better that I didn’t need to buy more batteries. I tried another name brand electric edger and returned it for not holding a charge. This one works great! There’s charge left in the battery after everything has been edged. I was concerned how easy it would be to control but fell in love with it first time I used it. To use just pop the battery in, flip the thumb lever, squeeze and edge. Not as noisy as gas powered equipment and no cords to pull. Feels sturdy in my hands and a good weight that’s enough to not pop up if it hits something but not too much to be heavy to carry back to the shed.

First use was great!
I've used it just the one time today. I had previously "edged" with a string weedwhacker, so while the grass was cut back some, there wasn't a trench dug out. I did a gentle push and pull, taking on about 18" at a time to get a new trench dug next to the sidewalk edge. It did a great job! The entire unit was much heavier and sturdy looking than I was afraid it would be for the price, so pleasantly surprised. Assembly wasn't complicated, but it did take two of us to hold it steady because getting the screws to seat in the square hole and not have the cord in the way was a bit tricky. I'm a 70+ lady, not large and not athletic, but I was able to handle this edger with ease. Now, to see how long it lasts!

Great Yard Helper!
So easy to use and affordable! This edger is a great time saver, easy to operate, and relatively easy to adjust although you may need a pliers or screwdriver to help with the adjustment levels, but its not difficult. I would have given this 5 stars but just one thing that is a sticking point for me is I wish this had its own stand or hanger because of its odd shape, it doesn't necessarily balance upright too well. It’s long and the guide wheel in the front sticks out. So, it is always awkward to get it tidy in the garage when not in use. Now maybe this is what it's like for landscapers…I’m not a professional. Just a homeowner doing my own upkeep. With what this costs, I’ll figure it out, and is worth the money.
