Buxus sinica var. insularis 'Wintergreen'
Choose Wintergreen Boxwood for a tight, low evergreen hedge where winter color and density matter; the tradeoff is patience, because it is not the shrub for quick screening or a loose, natural look.
Buy This If
- You want a low clipped hedge.
- You need winter structure.
- Deer browsing is a concern.
Skip This If
- You need height quickly.
- You dislike pruning.
- You want a soft, informal plant.
PGNE Report Card
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B | It gives clean evergreen lines and winter color, but it is more structural than showy. |
| Growth Rate | B- | It fills in at a moderate pace, so it rewards planning more than quick fixes. |
| Maintenance | B | It takes pruning well, but tight hedges still need regular trimming to stay crisp. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | Boxwood is one of the most deer-resistant shrubs we grow; its foliage deters browsing, though no plant is fully immune. |
| Small Space Fit | A | Its dense, compact habit works well along walks, entries, and smaller foundation beds. |
| Screening Value | C- | It can define an edge, but it is not the right plant for privacy screening. |
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Wintergreen Boxwood for homeowners who want a clean edge and are willing to prune lightly rather than wait for a taller screen.
