Buxus microphylla Kingsville Dwarf

Buxus microphylla ‘Kingsville Dwarf’ is one of the smallest and slowest-growing boxwoods available, prized for its dense, rounded habit and miniature scale. Often cited as the slowest-growing dwarf boxwood, it maintains a naturally compact form without frequent shearing. It prefers partial shade to full sun and evenly moist, well-drained soil, with some protection from intense heat and drying winds. Hardy in USDA Zones 6–9, it typically reaches about 1 foot tall and 1–2 feet wide over many years, making it perfect for troughs, rock gardens, and fine-scale plantings.
