Buxus microphylla var. koreana 'Julia Jane,' commonly known as Korean Boxwood ‘Julia Jane,' is a compact, evergreen shrub prized for its glossy, lime-green foliage that retains its vibrant color year-round. This hardy cultivar is an excellent choice for low hedges, borders, or foundation plantings, adding structure and elegance to gardens. Unlike traditional boxwoods, it exhibits remarkable resilience against winter damage and requires minimal maintenance, making it a favorite for landscapes in colder climates. 'Julia Jane' grows gracefully into a dense, rounded form without aggressive pruning and adapts well to containers or formal garden designs.
