Dwarf English Boxwood
Buxus sempervirens 'Suffruticosa'
Buxus sempervirens 'Suffruticosa', commonly known as English Boxwood, is a slow-growing, dwarf cultivar of boxwood. It typically grows up to 2-3 feet tall and wide, forming a dense, rounded mound of small, glossy, dark green leaves that retain their color throughout the year. This compact shrub is often used for borders, hedges, topiaries, and as an accent plant in formal gardens. It prefers partial shade to full sun exposure and well-draining soil. English Boxwood is also known for its high resistance to boxwood blight and other common boxwood diseases, making it a popular and reliable choice for gardeners. However, it can be susceptible to winter burn if exposed to harsh winter winds or sunlight. Regular pruning and fertilization can help maintain its shape and health.
