Family Buxaceae

Buxus × 'Green Mountain Spiral', or 'Green Mountain Spiral' boxwood, is a sculpted evergreen shrub, formed from the 'Green Mountain' cultivar, recognized for its naturally stable conical shape. Trimmed into an elegant spiral, it becomes a strong architectural element, perfect for framing an entrance, structuring a terrace, or creating a formal focal point in the garden. Its dense and fine dark green foliage maintains a beautiful appearance all year round, offering a constant decorative presence, even in winter. Thanks to its slow growth, the spiral shape lasts a long time and only requires occasional touch-ups to remain neat. Sober, refined, and durable, ‘Green Mountain Spiral’ embodies the ornamental boxwood par excellence, ideal for classical, contemporary, or European-inspired gardens.
