Green Boxleaf Euonymus

Euonymus japonicus ‘Microphyllus’ is a compact, small-leafed variety of Euonymus that grows slowly to only 1-2 feet tall and 1 ft. wide over 10 years. This small, evergreen shrub has dense, glossy, dark green leaves that are held tightly along the stems and tolerates shearing. A good alternative to dwarf boxwood, Green Boxleaf Euonymus is well-suited for use as a low hedge or in a border, and suits any garden style, formal or casual. Grows well in heat and poor soils. Tolerates coastal exposure.
