Plants arrived in healthy condition just three days ago. A little too early to set them out as there is still risk of frost so they are currently in pots.

About this plant

Green Velvet Boxwood Details

Green Velvet Boxwood - Buxus x 'Green Velvet'

Green Velvet Boxwood 6-8" is a hybrid cross of B. sempervirens × B. microphylla, which are both native to Europe and Asia. However, this particular hybrid was developed in the 1960s by Sheridan Nurseries in Canada.

This successful hybrid was cultivated to cross the cold hardiness of B. microphylla with the lush green foliage of B. sempervirens. This shrub is both winter-tolerant with rich, bright green foliage. While slow-growing, gaining a few inches in height per year, it is robust and vigorous, adding dense foliar appeal to your garden.

The Green Velvet Boxwood, 6-8", as an evergreen, maintains its rich green foliage throughout the year. However, it can be dehydrated by winter winds, which will lead to foliar browning. So, it is best to plant this shrub in a sheltered area.

It is a delightful evergreen shrub that can grow to be a small tree if left unpruned. However, its dense foliage shaped with ease, making it a versatile ornamental for creating walkway borders, hedges, topiaries, and foundation specimens.

Landscape Uses and Maintenance - Green Velvet Boxwood 6-8"

Green Velvet Boxwood planting is best in a mixture of sand and clay soil. However, it does not tolerate wet environments, which may cause root rot. It will grow both in shade and full sun conditions. However, growing in full sun in a hot environment might scorch the leaves and weaken the plant’s defense system, making it susceptible to pests and diseases.

Boxwoods, not excluding this shrub, are susceptible to leaf spot and blight. However, this plant is deer and rabbit-resistant. Prune after the last frost. Pruning results in tender new growth that will be damaged by freezing conditions. Applying mulch in autumn will help protect exposed shallow roots. It can be propagated by cuttings from semi-hardwood.
