The Japanese boxwood is a fine-textured, loose and rounded evergreen shrub that grows to 6.5′ tall. In the landscape, it works well as a low hedge, foundation plant, edging, or shrub border. It is very tolerant of pruning and sheering but do not prune before the last spring frost date or new growth will be damaged. Propagate by stem cutting or the plant will self-seed in optimum growing conditions.
Care:
- This boxwood prefers moist cool soils so mulch heavily around the roots.
- Plant in well-drained soil with slight acidity to slight alkalinity and dappled to partial shade.
- It can be grown in full shade but will become leggy and sparsely foliated.
- Full sun may cause foliage to turn a reddish color.
- This is a slow growing shrub and sensitive to over-fertilization.
- New growth may be injured by frost.
- Once established, it is very drought tolerant.
