These neat, evergreen leaves will mask the foundation in front of your house, giving it greater curb appeal and a manicured look, all year round. Growing 2–4 feet tall with a similar spread. Winter Gem Boxwood is shipping now. Its foliage will fill out holes in your summer garden, and give you a head start on fall planting. Buxus sinica var. insularis 'Winter Gem'
