Buxus × 'Green Mountain', or 'Green Mountain' boxwood, is an evergreen shrub with a naturally conical habit, valued for its neat vertical silhouette and dense dark green foliage, which maintains beautiful color all year round. More slender than rounded boxwoods, it is particularly popular for structuring entrances, accentuating beds, creating vertical accents, or forming narrow hedges without excessive pruning. Its regular habit provides a classic and elegant architecture, ideal for both formal and contemporary gardens. Relatively hardy for a boxwood, 'Green Mountain' shows good winter performance when planted in a location protected from drying winds. Stable, disciplined, and decorative in all seasons, it is a reliable choice for adding rhythm, verticality, and order to landscape designs.
