Green Mountain Boxwood – the stylish staple your planters have been waiting for! Whether you're after year-round elegance or a polished, structured look for your porch, this boxwood brings instant charm with its upright, pyramidal shape and deep green foliage.
While not hardy in zone 3 winters when planted in the ground, Green Mountain Boxwood thrives in pots during the warmer months, making it a fantastic seasonal feature. Place it in full sun to part shade, and water regularly—boxwoods like consistent moisture but don’t want to sit in soggy soil.
This slow-growing evergreen typically reaches 3–5 feet tall and 2–3 feet wide, making it ideal for flanking entrances, anchoring container arrangements, or adding structure to patios and balconies.
