Buxus microphylla var. japonica 'Morris Dwarf' – This Little Leaf Boxwood's glossy rich, dark green leaves are broader and more rounded than those of 'Compacta'. Ours are grown in fertile, moisture retaining soil that drains well sited in open shade with some peeks of sun, somewhat more in winter. Grown in these conditions this wonderful green turtle tends not to acquire the rusty orange winter tone that will develop in more sunny exposed sights. 'Morris Dwarf' grows somewhat faster and larger than 'Morris Midget' with 'Compacta' the smallest, tightest grower... though it would be a mistake to think that either 'Morris Dwarf' or 'Morris Midget' grow “open”; they are all dense and beautiful making beautiful green turtles if left unclipped! 'Morris Dwarf' may grow 18" high and wide in 10 years. Fertile draining soil on the neutral to acid side of the Ph spectrum. And though tolerant of nearly full sun they appear to appreciate part sun, afternoon shade. Organic mulches are very beneficial. Cutting grown.
