Buxus microphylla

Littleleaf Boxwood

Zone 5–8. 3–4' H × 3–4' W. Evergreen, compact, dense, rounded shrub; medium-fine texture, medium green in summer turning off-color in winter, especially at unprotected sites; excellent for hedging or as a foundation plant; native to Japan; sometimes mistakenly called Korean boxwood in the trade, there is a B. m. var. koreana; plants can be found labeled B. m. var. japonica, but it is doubtful that such really exists as a distinct plant. Often mislabeled as Korean Boxwood.
