Buxus Green Velvet
Buxus Green Velvet is a broad-mounding, compact evergreen boxwood shrub with lush, small, rich green leaves that maintain their color into winter. This boxwood produces inconspicuous flowers and is prized for its dense, uniform foliage.
Buxus Green Velvet prefers partial shade and well-drained soil, as it can be prone to leaf burn in full sun. Once established, Buxus Green Velvet is drought tolerant and low maintenance. Its incredibly dense foliage makes Buxus Green Velvet an excellent choice for formal hedges, borders, and foundation plantings.
