Buxus microphylla 'Little Missy' gives you the classic boxwood look in a smaller, rounded package. You get dense, glossy evergreen foliage that holds its color through the seasons, creating year-round structure for borders, low hedges, and foundation plantings.

Plant it in well-drained soil and water regularly during the first growing season to help it establish. After that, keep moisture consistent during hot, dry spells and mulch to even out soil temperature and moisture. It performs best in full sun to part shade; in hotter climates, afternoon shade can reduce stress and winter bronzing. If you need to shape it, prune lightly in late winter or early spring, and avoid heavy pruning late in the season.

At maturity, it typically stays around 24-36 inches tall, with a broad, mounded form that can spread to about 48-60 inches depending on site and pruning. Use it as a tidy edging shrub, a small specimen, or repeated in groups for a clean, formal rhythm. Give plants enough room for airflow, and keep foliage dry when watering to support long-term health.
