One of the biggest differences between American boxwoods and Japanese boxwoods is Japanese boxwoods tend to be much more heat tolerant. These beautiful evergreens have a dense growth habit and can be pruned closely for a tidy appearance.

Japanese boxwoods reach mature heights of 3-6' and have a similar spread. They can be grown in full sun, but in our region it's best if they have some part shade during the hot afternoon hours. 

Recommended for Zones 6-9.
