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.

Weird smell
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
The pillows are great for someone looking for something cool and comfortable. We loved them so much that we bought a second pair. However, we were seriously disappointed with the odor of our last purchase. They give off a strong and indescribable chemical/burning plastic smell so nauseating that it’s difficult to sleep with. We’re hoping this issue will resolve with a couple more washes of the pillow cases, but am worried the source is the stuffing itself.

helped treat my sore neck
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Camping Pillow(Pack of 1)
This pillow — after dialing in the right amount of shredded foam — has greatly helped my sore neck. Initially, I had to remove some foam. Then I gradually added foam until it reached optimum comfort and support. It is also CPAP-friendly — especially when I position my head near the pillow's edge. (I am a left-side sleeper.) I like the travel size because I use a bulky hugging pillow to ease stress on my shoulder and elbow. That makes my side of the bed feel cramped if using a larger head pillow. A smaller pillow is easy to flip end-to-end in the middle of the night. I have spent lots of money on pillows over the years, but this is the best I've ever had for relieving [1] neck pain and [2] CPAP mask seal problems. Very comfortable, supportive, and affordable. I did not notice any unpleasant smell — and I am usually sensitive to that kind of thing. Would highly recommend.

Love them!
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
Love them! After 10 years with our MyPillows, they finally lost their fluff. The reviews I read of the MyPillows of today were not good; they didn’t have as much filling as they used to. These pillows remind me of how fluffy our new MyPillows were 10 years ago!! You sink right into them and can mush them however and they stay. These are way cheaper than the Coop and it’s the same concept; add or remove the filling as needed. The cooling side is a huge plus too! You won’t be disappointed with these pillows!

Comfortable and stays cool
Color: White-cooling Basic, Size: Queen(Pack of 1)
Great pillow. When i opened it, i noticed a strange smell, i assumed its the smell of whatever they use to make the pillow stay cool. You have to fluff it for a good amount of time to make sure the cooling agent spreads well in the foam. Is what i assumed atleast. Its a perfect amount of softness for me. Pair it with some bamboo pillow cases and you got a good night of sleep
