The Baby Gem Boxwood (Buxus microphylla var. japonica 'Gregem') is a compact and versatile evergreen shrub that has become a popular choice for gardeners looking to add structure and year-round interest to their landscapes. This dwarf variety of boxwood is known for its dense, rounded form and small, glossy leaves, making it an excellent option for low hedges, borders, and topiary.
The Baby Gem Boxwood is a small, compact shrub that typically reaches heights of 4-5 feet and a similar width. The plant features evergreen, dark green, oval-shaped leaves that are glossy in texture, providing a lush and attractive appearance throughout the year. Its dense, rounded form makes it ideal for a variety of landscape uses, including low hedges, borders, and accent plantings.
This hardy and adaptable shrub thrives in a range of growing conditions, flourishing in both full sun and partial shade. It prefers well-draining soil and is relatively drought-tolerant once established. The Baby Gem Boxwood is also resistant to many common pests and diseases that can afflict boxwoods, making it a low-maintenance option for gardeners.
The Baby Gem Boxwood produces small, inconspicuous, greenish-yellow flowers that bloom in late spring. While these flowers are not the primary focus of this plant, they do offer a subtle and understated floral display. The flowers often attract bees and other pollinators, adding an additional benefit to the garden ecosystem.
