Little Missy Boxwood 10–12 Inch Live Plant – Buxus ‘Little Missy’ – 3 Gallon Pot

Little Missy Boxwood (Buxus ‘Little Missy’) is a compact evergreen ornamental shrub distinguished by its exceptionally small leaves, dense branching, and lustrous dark green foliage. Its leaves are smaller than those of typical Buxus microphylla, creating a fine-textured appearance that works well in formal gardens, low hedges, foundation plantings, and decorative landscape borders.

This selection maintains its rich dark green foliage throughout the year, providing consistent evergreen color across the seasons. Little Missy develops a dense, tidy growth habit and produces approximately 2–3 inches of new growth per growth flush, depending on growing conditions. Its small leaves and compact branching make it particularly suitable for structured garden designs and ornamental shaping.

Supplied as one live plant in a 3 gallon nursery pot, with a 10–12 inch supplier-listed nursery size, Little Missy Boxwood grows best in well-drained soil with full sun to partial shade. Its fine-textured foliage and naturally dense form make it suitable for low evergreen borders, foundation landscapes, and outdoor containers.
