Franklin’s Gem Boxwood is a charming evergreen that is versatile and striking while also being hardy and low maintenance. The oval-shaped, glossy foliage is bright green during the summer and fades into a rich olive green during the winter. Buxus microphylla introduces consistent color into a landscape and is deer-resistant.
Best grown in average, medium moisture, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Prefers sun-dappled part shade and moist, sandy loams with a slightly acidic to slightly alkaline pH. Tolerant of pruning and shearing. Thin plants and remove damaged branches annually to improve air circulation. (Courtesy of Missouri Botanical Garden Plant Finder)
