Description
Boxwood – Faulkner (Buxus microphylla 'Faulkner') is a refined, compact evergreen shrub prized for its dense, rounded form and glossy green foliage. A slow grower requiring minimal shearing, this boxwood is perfect for small gardens, borders, or formal hedging. New spring growth emerges chartreuse, maturing into a rich green that holds its color throughout winter, making it an excellent year-round landscape feature.
Hardy in zones 4–7 and thriving in full sun to part shade, Faulkner Boxwood is low-maintenance, highly versatile, and resistant to deer. Its naturally mounded shape lends itself beautifully to topiary, container gardens, and structured plantings. This tidy evergreen also attracts pollinators and makes a strong foundation plant or edging choice in formal and informal settings alike.
Each plant comes in a #5 (5 gallon) growers container. The image shown represents an example of what you may receive. Please note that the height, shape, and fullness of each plant may vary due to natural growth patterns. Rest assured, we will select the healthiest and most vibrant plant for you.
