Big Bluestem, Blackhawk

Buxus x 'Green Gem', a meticulously cultivated hybrid Boxwood cultivar, emerges as a botanical jewel of landscape design, offering an impeccably compact and lush horticultural solution across its impressive Zone 4-9 hardiness range. This exceptional cultivar achieves a perfectly proportioned mature size of 2-3 feet in height and 3-4 feet in width, creating a supremely dense mound of emerald green foliage that serves as a living architectural element of extraordinary sophistication. Its lustrous green foliage transforms subtle landscape spaces, presenting a perfectly rounded form that demands minimal intervention while delivering maximum visual impact, with the added botanical drama of subtle winter bronzing that introduces depth and complexity to its color palette. The cultivar's remarkable resilience is tempered by a critical vulnerability to harsh winter conditions, particularly dry winter winds that can compromise its delicate foliar structure, necessitating careful siting and potential protective measures to maintain its pristine appearance. As a premier landscape solution, 'Green Gem' represents the pinnacle of Boxwood breeding – a compact, low-maintenance specimen that provides year-round structural elegance, creating living architectural elements that bring precision, color, and botanical sophistication to gardens, borders, and designed landscapes with unparalleled grace.
