Korean Box tends to grow lower and wider, making it an ideal informal hedging plant. Glossy, soft, green leaves are smaller than most Buxus varieties, and tend to be narrower in shape. It has a tendency to go yellow in full sun, so best grown in partial shade. Use to define pathways or courtyard gardens. Ideal for creating a low, informal or formal clipped hedge or plant under trees as a groundcover. Great in pots. Grows approx 30cm in 3 years.
