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.

6'1" 280+ with a middle, and 3x is perfect
Size: 3X-Large, Color: Antique Indigo
Naturally, this arrived stiff and the arms were a little long, but a hot wash and hot dry softened it perfectly and brought the sleeves up just enough. Jean jackets just have to break in. I slept in it last night to form it to my body although my wife thought I was nuts. These aren't warm jackets, but if you're my size 3x will leave just enough room for layers. Of course, the jacket will become a best friend like all the others have. It'll just take some time. I've seen complaints about the buttons and, yes, they'll also need to break in too. But they will!

Like Steve McQueen, all I need's a fast machine...
Size: Medium, Color: Vintage Indigo
I was very impressed by the quality of the Vintage Indigo (distressed) jacket I received. Much heavier denim than Levi's, rugged stitching, classic fit that is also much better than the relaxed Levi's available on Amazon. The inside pockets are generous and sturdy but have no closure flap so if you bent over enough I suppose things could fall out. This jacket is pretty bombproof if you ask me and at half the price of Levi's. I only wish that they made this in size small, which I can't find anywhere. I am 5'9" and 170 lbs, athletic build. I like a high and tight fit on these like Steve McQueen would have rocked, the shoulders and sleeves on this medium size are a bit oversized, the body is just a tad more relaxed and longer than I would like. Most guys would probably be very pleased with this medium. It would work very well over sweaters and such. Update: I ordered the Lee Boss Man vintage style jacket in Medium, it's much tighter fitting than this Wrangler and the vintage wash is much more convincing. The Lee is a much trimmer fit, tight across the shoulders and through the sleeves, slim on the body. It's more the Steve McQueen look I was searching for so it's a keeper. No room for sweaters under the Lee and the denim is much lighter weight than the Wrangler. Lee's the one for me. This Wrangler is very good quality but not quite the fit for me so it goes back. Thankfully Amazon makes returns free and easy so you can try every brand.

Size & fit great
Size: Large, Color: Vintage Indigo
The fit of the jean jacket was as described. I did order a large. I am 5'11'' The sleeves were Not long they were the proper length and came to my wrist as they should have. The color was a little darker than the picture but still a nice washed-out blue. Looking forward to years of wearing this jacket. The jacket is high quality with excellent stitching. I am a consumer and was not compensated for this review.

Runs a little large
Size: X-Large Tall, Color: Antique Indigo
Awesome jacket! I am a vintage Lee Rider jacket man since high school. All Made in USA from denim Made in USA. Oldest from High School. Think I bought a Wrangler jacket once and it was not fitted like a Rider, boxy and baggy. Returned it. Wanted to try a Wrangler or Levi jacket after wearing Lee jackets for over 50 years. Modern Lee are Lee by name. After reading a 100 reviews the Wrangler reviews were consistent. The Levi reviews were all over the place, small, large, thin, thick, all cotton, stretch, made no telling where. Ordered this jacket. Ordered a XL Tall. Usually wear a XXL. But running large was a consistent comment. Sized to fit a hoodie under. Built odd, 48 jacket, 37 shirt sleeves, 36 pants are loose fit. The sized down jacket fits a little loose. May shrink down a little, washed twice yesterday. But like all Bangladesh made clothes I have owned the quality is equal to my 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s Made in USA Lee Rider jackets. The denim is top quality, the stitching is even and well done. Not as slick as my Diamond Gusset denim jacket on finishing inside, think 700.00 suit coat quality, but equal to any of my five Lee jackets. This is a Tough Wear and not an Italian suit coat. Living in Houston we only see a month or two of jacket weather a year. Wearing shorts and tee shirt today. So stores do not stock year round. Amazon was a gamble on size and quality. Looked before ordering, no stores had jackets in stock after first of the year to try size and fit. I got lucky. Fit like a XXL Lee Rider or Diamond Gusset. Quality of denim and construction are top notch. Much recommended, just order down on size if you are borderline on sizes.
