True Dwarf Boxwood
Buxus are grown for their small, neat, leathery leaves and dense long-lived growth habits. 'Suffruticosa' is the best dwarf boxwood for small scale applications. The natural rounded form with dense foliage and fine branching make this a good choice for formal hedges, edges and topiary. Slow growth reduces the need for trimming and shearing. Resistant to box leaf miner.
