Buxus microphylla ‘Koreana’ is a slow growing variety of Boxwood that is native to Korea. It features attractive and lush, bright green foliage which is held densely and often develops bronze tones during winter. It typically grows to 70 cm tall and 1 m wide, performing best when planted in full sun or partial shade on a well-drained, semi-sheltered site. It is tolerant of most soil types, except at the extremes of wet and dry, moderate frost, cool climates, and coastal conditions. Buxus ‘Koreana’ is an excellent choice for trimming into a low hedge, using in borders, planting around outdoor living areas, mass planting either as a groundcover or on a bank, or simply growing in a container. Space plants 20 cm apart for a box hedge in NZ.
