Buxus 'Green Velvet' ~ Green Velvet Boxwood
This product is only available in store. Visit our Nursery for more information.
Green Velvet Boxwood is a broad-mounding compact evergreen shrub with lush small rich green leaves that maintains its color into winter. Inconspicuous flowers. Prefers partial shade areas and well-drained soils, as it is prone to burning in full sun. Drought tolerant once established. Green Velvet's incredibly dense foliage makes it a good choice for formal hedges.
