Azara Microphylla

Design with this plant

Overview

Azara microphylla, or Box-leafed Azara, is a dense evergreen shrub featuring tiny, glossy green leaves. Mature height reaches 10-15 feet with a spread of 6-10 feet. Noteworthy for its vanilla-scented, small yellow flowers in late winter to early spring, it thrives in full to partial sun and well-drained soil. Hardy to USDA zone 7, it's excellent for hedging or as an understated specimen in temperate landscapes.
