Green Velvet Boxwood – 1 Gallon Evergreen Shrub (Buxus x ‘Green Velvet’)
Add year-round beauty and structure to your landscape with the Green Velvet Boxwood, one of the most popular evergreen shrubs for hedges, borders, foundation plantings, and formal gardens. This hardy boxwood variety is prized for its dense, naturally rounded growth habit and vibrant green foliage that remains attractive through every season. Unlike many traditional boxwoods, Green Velvet offers excellent cold hardiness and maintains its rich color throughout winter, making it a favorite among homeowners and landscapers alike.
Growing to a mature size of approximately 2–4 feet (0.6–1.2 m) tall and wide, Green Velvet Boxwood requires minimal pruning to maintain its neat, globe-shaped appearance. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to a wide range of well-drained soils. Whether you’re creating a low hedge, defining walkways, accenting a foundation, or adding evergreen interest to containers, this versatile shrub delivers lasting curb appeal with very little maintenance.
Each plant is shipped in a 1-gallon nursery container and is well-rooted, healthy, and ready to establish quickly in your garden.
