This hardy boxwood variety is your ideal accent or hedge plant in flower gardens, formal gardens, or any landscape foundation planting due to its versatility, dense green foliage, and ease of maintenance. If you’re planning to prune trees, leave ample room between each, allowing them to reach their full sizes. Space them 2 to 3 ft. apart to make a shrub border hedge. Always space them at least 2 ft. away from homes, fences, and other structures. The Japanese Boxwood shrub, sometimes called littleleaf boxwood, produces dainty white flowers that are not showy in early spring.
