Buxus sinica var. insularis
A small evergreen commonly used for hedging.
Common Name: Buxus microphylla var. koreana, Buxus microphylla 'Koreana', Korean Boxwood, Boxwood
With a tailored demeanor clipped or not, this undemanding Boxwood is second-to-none for hedging, edging, accenting the rockery or sculpting a topiary or bonsai specimen. Young downy branches and lustrous, small elliptical leaves in crisp dark greens define the dwarf rounded form that grows slowly and a little less densely. A reliably cold tolerant evergreen, it can be planted as a low and refined verdant border, allowing more rambunctious plants to exuberantly spill over. Drought tolerant once established.
