The luxurious Green Velvet Boxwood is aptly named for its visual texture. Easy to care for, you may choose to prune it into a formal hedge or other shapes, or allow it to grow into its natural rounded form. The lush, evergreen foliage maintains its rich appearance throughout winter. Green Velvet Boxwood enjoys well-drained, lightly acidic, loamy soils and appreciates shaded plantings out of the hot afternoon sun in summer. Without pruning, this boxwood will grow to be 3 ft. to 4 ft. tall and wide and is hardy in USDA Cold Hardiness Zones 4-9. This is an ideal low-maintenance, gorgeous and versatile evergreen that is perfect for low hedges, walkway plantings, fitting perfectly with a wide array of garden styles.
