Garden Goods Direct | Green Velvet Boxwood

Green Velvet Boxwoods are compactboxwoods that boast bright green foliage year-round. These glossy evergreen hybrids are loved for their ability to keep their deep green color and dense round shape through the frigid winter conditions. Scientifically referred to as’Buxus mircrophylla, ‘these hardy evergreen shrubs are a one-of-a-kind blend of the English and Korean Boxwoods. They get their round dark green foliage from their English Boxwood descent and their strength and cold resistance from their Korean background. The Green Velvet Boxwood’s small dark green leaves and compact form make this perennial an ideal choice for a more formal garden presence. The plant’s small nature and fine texture make it an excellent shrub for smaller landscape projects that may lack the space for larger hedges. Aside from their lustrous color and compact form, the Velvet Boxwoods are loved for their low-maintenance care regimen and extreme hardiness to strong winter winds. As a bonus, these plants are rabbit and deer-resistant. This landscape plant prefers moist, well-drained soil and decent air circulation. This Green Velvet Boxwood does not require pruning and enjoys the rays of the full winter sun. Additionally, to protect the plant’s shallow root system, we recommend protecting the roots with a generous layer of mulch. Excellent for use as hedges and borders, smaller gardens, or patio containers, this Boxwood grows in full sun, full shade, or partial shade.
