Faulkner | Buxus microphylla
Buxus microphylla 'Faulkner', Buxus sempervirens 'Faulkner' or Box Faulkner is a low-growing and compact evergreen shrub which is a popular choice for making hedge mazes.
Box Faulkner has shiny green and yellow leaves that have a leathery texture and a pleasing “fresh” aroma. Its dense foliage makes it ideal for shaping into topiary or manicured hedges.
Alternatively, because it only reaches heights of between 100cm – 150cm at maturity, it is popular as a low maintenance choice that can be left to its own devices.
Despite its small size, Box Faulkner is very a tough plant and it shows good resilience towards the harsh British weather.
