The Japanese Boxwood is a reliable landscaping evergreen. This Boxwood features petite leaves that range from light green to dark green. It has a naturally rounded growth habit that reaches 3 to 6 Ft. H x 4 to 6 Ft. W at maturity. However, it trims well to a desired size. Occasionally, it produces small white flowers and inconspicuous dark berries as well. For gardeners with deer problems, boxwoods are about as deer resistant as plants get. Use it as a border, hedge, privacy screen, or container plant. This variety is hardy from USDA Zones 6-9, and handles full sun to part shade. For best results, plant in moist soil with good drainage. To maximize growth, fertilize a couple of times yearly with a balanced fertilizer. Water 2-3 times per week during the first growing season.
