Japanese Boxwood
Buxus microphylla japonica
Dense shrub with glossy, bright to dark green leaves. Some varieties foliage changes color in winter, others stay green. Varieties that perform well here are 'Winter Gem' and 'Green Beauty'. Extreme care in summer with watering and fertilizing. Spray for mites and scale. Does best with well-drained soils and organic surface mulch. Good for edging and for hedges. Flowers are insignificant.
