Boxwoods are grown for their small, neat, leathery leaves and dense long-lived growth habits. Buxus sempervirens 'Suffruticosa' is the best dwarf boxwood for small scale applications. Best in USDA zones 5-8, this Dwarf English Boxwood has a naturally rounded form with dense foliage and fine branching, making this a good choice for formal hedges, edges and topiary. Easy to grow and low-maintenance, Suffruticosa's slow growth reduces the need for constant trimming and shearing. Resistant to box leaf miner.
How big does Dwarf English Boxwood grow?
It grows slowly to about 2 to 3 feet tall and wide, forming a dense, compact mound of glossy green foliage that’s naturally rounded and refined.
What kind of light and soil does it prefer?

How often should I prune it?
