Little Missy Boxwood 1 Live Evergreen Shrub, 2 Gallon Pot, 8 Inches – Buxus microphylla ‘Little Missy’

Little Missy Boxwood (Buxus microphylla ‘Little Missy’) is a compact evergreen ornamental shrub valued for its dense growth habit and attractive, small green leaves. Its fine-textured foliage creates a neat, uniform appearance throughout the year, making it suitable for formal and informal landscape designs. The plant produces small, inconspicuous flowers in spring, although its primary ornamental feature is its evergreen foliage.

This boxwood cultivar develops a naturally compact, densely branched, rounded growth habit. Little Missy Boxwood is well suited for low hedges, garden edging, foundation plantings, formal borders, mass plantings, and decorative outdoor containers. Its small leaves and dense branching also make it suitable for shaping and maintaining a tidy landscape appearance.

Little Missy Boxwood grows in full sun to partial shade and prefers fertile, well-drained soil with moderate moisture. In regions with intense summer heat, some afternoon shade may help maintain foliage quality. As an evergreen shrub, it generally retains its leaves throughout the year, although foliage color and appearance may vary with seasonal temperatures and growing conditions.

Each order includes 1 live Little Missy Boxwood supplied in a 2-gallon nursery container (G2).
