Dwarf English Boxwood For Sale Online

Dwarf English Boxwood (buxus) is a classic boxwood with glossy, soft, deep green foliage. At a mature height and width of about 2 feet, the Dwarf English Boxwood is perfect for lining walkways, driveways and flower bed edges. They are also popular as foundation plantings providing a more formal look.

Dwarf English Boxwood is considered drought-tolerant once established. They can handle full sun but do better with some shade. They do not deal well with the heat from the late afternoon direct sun in summer. Dwarf English Boxwood’s can actually handle more shade than many other evergreen shrubs.

Dwarf Boxwood’s growth rate is slow, about 1 to 2 inches per year. It will grow naturally in a mounded shape. As with many buxus, Dwarf English can withstand pruning to shape. Many people keep them in containers and pruned into a perfect little ball.
