Product Information
We do our best to ensure product descriptions, specifications, care information and other details are accurate and up to date. Information is provided as a general guide and may vary between batches, suppliers, individual plants or product revisions.

Stock availability
Website stock levels update live from our inventory system, but occasional discrepancies can occur due to in-store sales, damage or stock adjustments. This is more likely when only 1 or 2 units are showing as available.

Product images
Images are provided as a visual guide and may not show the exact individual item for sale. Plants can naturally vary in size, fullness, colour, shape and stage of growth, and images may show a mature specimen to demonstrate how a younger plant may develop.

Images are either owned by Kambarang Garden Centre, used under an appropriate licence or with permission, or created with AI assistance. AI imagery is used to improve the background of existing photos, and to provide representative images where a suitable real-world photo is difficult or impractical to obtain, particularly for mature plants. Special care is taken to preserve the genuine appearance, colour, form, foliage, flowers and growth habit as accurately as current AI image technology allows.

Plant sizing
Plant sizes refer to the pot size, not the exact size of the plant. For example:

  • 100 mm = 10 cm diameter pot
  • 140 mm = 14 cm diameter pot
  • 5 L = 5 litre pot

Smaller pot sizes generally indicate younger plants, although actual plant size can vary significantly between species, varieties and growth habits.

Description

Buxus microphylla 'Faulkner' is a hardy and compact dwarf Japanese boxwood, well-suited for Perth's conditions. Known for its dense growth and deep green, small leaves, 'Faulkner' is an ideal choice for formal hedging, borders, and topiary work. It maintains its compact shape and vibrant foliage even in challenging conditions, making it a reliable option for garden beds, pots, or container planting. Its evergreen nature provides year-round structure and greenery.

Plant 'Faulkner' in a well-draining, fertile soil, ideally in a position with full sun to part shade for best results. Regular watering is essential during establishment, but once mature, this boxwood is relatively drought-tolerant. 'Faulkner' can be trimmed regularly to maintain shape, making it a favourite for those who enjoy a manicured garden appearance. This cultivar thrives during Perth’s moderate seasons, particularly in Autumn (Djeran) and Winter (Makuru), when it benefits from milder weather conditions.
