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.
How big does Green Boxleaf Euonymus grow?
It typically grows 2 to 3 feet tall and wide, forming a compact, slow-growing mound that looks neat and refined even without regular trimming.
What kind of light and soil does it prefer?
Full sun to partial shade is ideal. It grows best in well-drained soil but adapts to most garden conditions just avoid constant moisture or heavy clay.
Does it need pruning or special care?
Light pruning once or twice a year helps maintain its shape, though it naturally stays tidy. It’s tougher than it looks and rarely needs pampering.
Is it evergreen and good for hedges or borders?
Yes, it’s evergreen year-round and perfect for low hedges, edging, or foundation plantings. Its small leaves and dense habit mimic boxwood beautifully.
