Buxus microphylla 'Julia Jane'
Common name:
Julia Jane littleaf boxwood
Family:
Buxaceae (boxwood family)
Distribution:
Species native to e. Asia
Hardiness:
USDA Zone 5
Life form:
Evergreen shrub
Comments:
A small broadleaf evergreen shrub to around 3-4' tall and wide that was introduced from Colorado in 1992 but is virtually absent in the trade. Foliage consists of opposite leaves, densely arranged along the stems, 1/3" long. Flowers open in early spring (April) with male and female flowers grouped closely together, sweetly fragrant, clusters to ½" wide. Boxwood's exceptional heat and drought tolerance and high resistance to rabbit and deer browse are pluses in any landscape.
