Morris Dwarf Boxwood – Compact Evergreen Shrub for Low-Maintenance Landscaping

Morris Dwarf Boxwood Seeds produce a compact, slow-growing evergreen shrub valued for its dense foliage and naturally rounded form. This variety is widely used in formal gardens, low hedges, edging, and container landscaping where a neat, structured look is required with minimal maintenance.

Its small, glossy green leaves remain attractive year-round and require very little pruning to maintain shape. Compared to larger boxwoods, Morris Dwarf stays compact, making it ideal for pathways, borders, foundation plantings, and courtyard gardens.
