About this plant
Buxus microphylla koreana 'Faulkner', commonly known as Faulkner Korean boxwood, is a compact, evergreen shrub prized for its dense, rounded form and fine-textured foliage. The leaves are glossy, deep green, and retain their vibrant color through winter, making it a versatile option for hedging, edging, or topiary. 'Faulkner' is particularly valued for its slower growth rate, which reduces maintenance and allows it to establish neatly in formal or informal garden designs. Adaptable to varied conditions, it thrives in both sun and partial shade, offering year-round interest.
