Buxus 'Green Gem' is a compact, evergreen boxwood plant that is ideal for low hedges, borders, and topiary in New Zealand gardens. It forms a dense, rounded shrub with small, glossy green leaves that hold their colour year-round. Growing to around 60–90 cm tall and wide, it responds well to regular trimming and shaping. Thriving in full sun to partial shade with well-drained soil, ‘Green Gem’ is hardy, low-maintenance, and perfect for formal or structured garden designs.
