Versatile, vigorous and vivacious, the Green Velvet Boxwood thrives in just about every region in the U.S. It is virtually maintenance free and looks marvelous as an accent plant, border or foundation hedge.

This sparkling evergreen is aptly named; with its display of old growth in darker shades of green, and its new growth shining brightly in vivid shades of light green that adds texture, depth and dimension appearing almost velvety to the eye.

As spring arrives, tiny white flowers emerge that are elegantly attractive and fragrant. You can clip and shape these Velvet Boxwoods into plump oval mounds to add interest and energy to a mixed perennial bed.

Flaunting its naturally rounded shape with little need for pruning, the Green Velvet Boxwood is perfectly suited to life in a casual or formal situation. Plant and shape these beauties into a low hedge surrounding one of our Pink Knockout Rose Trees for an absolutely stunning arrangement.

Flourishing in full sun to partial shade, the Velvet Boxwood can be easily maintained for use in areas where space may be limited. Adaptable to most soil types, this easy-going shrub thrives with a small amount of pruning, occasional feeding and annual mulching.

Versatile Green Velvet Boxwood is pest and disease resistant and even stands up against deer. It is tolerant of urban smog, changing climates, and even drought. This hybrid shrub is equally at home in a country or city setting.
