Features of Small Leaf Box Topiary Cones

Buxus microphylla ‘Faulkner’ stands out with its fine-textured foliage and rich green colour. Unlike other boxwood varieties, it resists winter bronzing, retaining its vibrancy throughout the year. Its naturally dense habit allows for precise shaping, making it perfect for topiary designs.

Why Choose Small Leaf Box Topiary Cones?

Gardeners value Small Leaf Box Topiary Cones for their durability, compact form, and ease of care. They resist heat better than common boxwood varieties and adapt well to different growing conditions. Their versatility suits formal gardens, pathway borders, and container displays.

Landscaping and Design Appeal

Their conical shape provides strong architectural interest, whether used in symmetrical pairs or as standalone features. They complement flowering plants, ornamental grasses, and structured hedging. Placed at entrances, patios, or courtyards, they create a polished, refined look.

Preferred Growing Conditions

These topiary cones thrive in well-drained soil and tolerate loam, chalk, and sandy types. They grow best in partial shade to full sun. Young plants need regular watering, but established ones handle occasional dry spells well.

Maintenance and Care

Prune once or twice yearly, preferably in late spring and early autumn, to maintain their shape. Regular trimming encourages dense growth and a well-defined conical form. Apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring to promote lush foliage.

Fun Fact

The Latin word “microphylla” means “small-leaved,” highlighting the plant’s refined and delicate foliage compared to other boxwood varieties.

Disclaimer

To maintain health and shape, provide well-drained soil, water regularly during establishment, and prune as needed. Proper airflow prevents common boxwood issues.
