Buxus microphylla, more commonly known as Littleleaf Boxwood, is an evergreen shrub and a stellar addition to any garden. This remarkably resilient plant, native to Japan, is part of the Buxaceae family. The term 'boxwood' refers to its historical use for crafting ornamental boxes, as well as describing the square stems of young plants. Littleleaf Boxwood loves moist, cool and well-drained soil, but can adapt to different types. Heavy mulching is advised for moisture retention due to shallow roots. Once matured, it can withstand drought. It thrives in full sun to light shade, but do shield it from extreme wind and winter weather to avoid an orangish-brown foliage discoloration. Avoid pruning until after the last spring frost, as new growth can be frost-sensitive.
Unique in its small leaves, Littleleaf Boxwood is a slow-growing evergreen that creates a wonderfully dense surface, perfect for shaping into hedges, topiaries or bonsais. Spring brings small non-showy flowers that give a delightful fragrance. Use it as a container plant, along borders or hedges, or as a featured specimen. It can be mass planted or used along a building's foundation. With rabbit and deer resistance, and tolerance to pruning, Littleleaf Boxwood is a versatile and compelling addition to your landscape all year.
