Buxus microphylla Saucer – Small-Leaved Box
type: Product
description: Buxus microphylla Saucer is a pre-clipped formal evergreen specimen trained into a flat disc-shaped crown, valued for its tight fine dark-green foliage and precise horizontal form. Buxus microphylla is a distinct variety within the Buxus family with the smallest leaves of any commonly grown box, which gives the saucer form its exceptionally clean edge and dense finish. It performs reliably in cool to temperate climates in full sun to part shade with well-drained slightly acidic to neutral loamy soil. Buxus microphylla is more heat and humidity tolerant than Buxus sempervirens, which makes it a stronger choice for warm coastal Sydney, Brisbane and inland positions where English Box can struggle. Once established it is frost hardy, drought tolerant and holds its shape with two light clips per year. Saucer forms are one of the most popular topiary shapes in contemporary landscape design.

Buxus microphylla saucers give the timeless quality of clipped box in a strong horizontal form.
