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.

Good for an aggressive chewer
Size: 6 Inch, Color: Bone
My dog loves it. These last a long time. My dog is a Rottweiler/American Bulldog mix, she goes through a lot of toys. So, I try to buy her something that has no stuffing, but will keep her from getting bored. This one has lasted about 6-7 months, the leather is chewed off, but it's still the shape of a bone. I did just order another though, the one she has is a little stinky from her slobber. :-)

Not as expected
Size: 6 Inch, Color: Bone
I have been looking for these ever since we got a similar one at Sierras for our 1 1/2 yo Cane Corso. She is brutal on chew toys and the first one from the box store held up well. However, this did not hold up as well and she was done with it in less than a week. Still looking for that perfect toy.

More durable than expected.
Size: 5 Inch, Color: Raccoon
I was walking through my front room the other day when I noticed a suspicious spot on the floor. It looked like something I should not touch without gloves. As I got closer, I realized what it was. It’s the ‘guts’ from this toy. My dogs (Pit Bull and German Shorthaired Pointer) were each given one. Both are aggressive chewers with their toys. They ATE the faces off these toys and now play with the felt interior. I’m still trying to figure out how they ate through leather while the felt remained intact. Regardless, they still play with them. Now they are basically semi-fuzzy throw toys we can throw in the house because they don’t leave marks on the wall if our aim is off. Sometimes things work out the way they should. :)

Great with supervision
Size: 6 Inch, Color: Bone
My dogs LOVE these, but removing a star because these apparently are VERY delicious and they will ingest what they rip off if I don’t supervise; also removing a star for how quick they’re able to tear these up. These are like catnip for dogs, I’ll still buy them!

Don't waste your money!!
Size: 5 Inch, Color: Fox
With in minutes my puppy was pulling on the middle fiber stuff. I was worried he would choke/ingest it so I immediately threw it away just like the money I apparently threw away on this unsafe and misleading chew toy.
