Baby Gem Boxwood Shrubs for Sale Online
Baby Gem Boxwoods are appropriately named; though small, they will be the shining gems of any landscape. Baby Gem Boxwoods maintain their beautiful green color throughout all four seasons! It is common for the shiny green foliage on some Boxwoods to turn bronze in the fall, but not Baby Gem.
The plant care for these shrubs is extremely simple; these round evergreens are tolerant of various conditions. These dense dark green beauties tolerate both full sun and part shade.
These plants do best when planted in well-drained soil and are fairly drought tolerant. Apply an all-purpose fertilizer for optimal growth in the spring and summer growing seasons.
As a shorter and more compact brother of the Winter Gem Boxwood, the Baby Gem Boxwoods grow naturally small. Reaching about 3 feet tall and wide., The Baby Gem's dense, evergreen foliage makes it perfect for shearing into a small, formal hedge. They are also ideal for defining borders or used as a foundation plant or natural hedge.
Because of their small stature and controlled growth habit, these compact Boxwoods are perfect for smaller gardens and compact spaces. As a bonus, you will not have to worry about wildlife snacking on your plants, for these boxwoods are naturally pest and deer resistant.
