The Korean boxwood is known for its excellent winter hardiness and tolerance to pruning and shearing. It is a dense, rounded broadleaf evergreen shrub native to the mountain forests of the Korean Peninsula and northern China.
Small, oval, deep glossy green foliage covers this shrub all season but may turn yellow or bronzy brown in winter. In spring it offers tiny, fragrant, green-yellow flowers that are visited by bees. The fruit is inconspicuous.
Resilient to a wide range of soils (acid to slightly alkaline), Korean boxwood is also quite tolerant of summer heat and humidity as well as winter cold. It grows best in partial sun and well-drained soils. Full sun exposures are only tolerated where seasons are mild. It benefits from mulching to keep its roots cool and moist. Its primary weakness is a susceptibility to leaf dessication and scald caused by drying winter winds and sun.
Major pruning is best done early in the season. (info source: learn2grow.com)
