buxus microphylla Green Mountain
Green Mountain is a dense, evergreen shrub with a naturally upright, pyramidal form. Its vibrant green foliage holds color year-round, providing structure and elegance to landscapes. Slow-growing and low-maintenance, it’s ideal for formal hedges, foundation plantings, borders, and container gardens. Its upright habit makes it especially suitable for vertical accents and spaces where a taller, narrow evergreen is desired.
