Description

Green Velvet Boxwood is a beautiful, rounded shrub that maintains a dense, vibrant green hue year-round. Its compact stature offers a satisfying, modern shape that works well as a low hedge, foundation accent, or textural focal point in the landscape. Appreciated for its refreshing year round color and neat form, this boxwood also demonstrates strong deer resistance, making it a dependable option wherever browsing pressure may exist.

General Care

• Sunlight: Prefers partial to full sun, with at least 4–6 hours of direct or filtered light daily.
• Soil: Thrives in well-drained, slightly acidic to slightly alkaline soil; adding organic matter can enhance drainage and overall soil quality.
• Watering: Keep evenly moist, especially during the first growing season. Once established, it tolerates short periods of dryness but benefits from regular watering in extended heat.
• Mulching: A 2–3 inch layer of mulch helps retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. Keep mulch slightly away from the base of the stems.
• Pruning: Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain its gorgeous form; light trimming throughout the season can help refine its appearance.

Green Velvet Boxwood brings an inspiring dose of rich color to Michigan landscapes, delivering a magnificent blend of year-round interest and easy-care performance in both formal and informal designs.
