Evergreen Buxus microphylla (Boxwood)
Color Name: Little Missy
Little Missy boasts exceptional form with small, gloss leaves. Its dark green foliage retains its color all summer and throughout the winter. Hardy to zone 5, Little Missy, performs well in the New England states and its compact, rounded form makes it an excellent choice for low hedges or foundation plantings. Hardy, easy to grow & deer resistant with good green color retention.
One of the most popular and beautiful boxwoods, with a rounded dense habit and small, glossy dark-green leaves. Has shown excellent resistance to Boxwood Blight. The smaller size is perfect for low hedges, sheared or left in natural form.
Growing Tips: Tolerates shade well, but leaf color and overall foliage coverage is better with at least some sun. Grows most rapidly where moisture is consistently available.
Soil: Does best in moist (even very moist), slightly acidic soils.
Pruning: Naturally dense habit requires little pruning; may be trimmed after new growth has hardened off in late spring, though.
Uses: Hedges; edgings; foundation plantings; specimen; containers; mass planting.
