DESCRIPTION
Buxus microphylla var. japonica 'Green Beauty' develops dense branching covered with small, oval leaves that remain glossy deep green throughout the year. The compact foliage creates a finely textured surface along the stems, giving the plant a refined, structured appearance in the landscape. In spring, tiny yellow-green flowers appear nestled among the leaves. The subtle blooms release a light fragrance and provide delicate seasonal interest within the evergreen canopy.

Derived from Buxus microphylla var. japonica native to Japan, this cultivated selection has become a dependable ornamental shrub. In gardens it lends year-round structure to borders, foundation plantings, and formal landscapes where the dense foliage works well for hedges and shaped plantings.
