Buxus 'Green Velvet' is a compact and dense evergreen shrub with dark green foliage. It maintains its rich color throughout the year and is perfect for hedges, borders, and foundation plantings.

Caring for Buxus 'Green Velvet', commonly known as Green Velvet Boxwood, involves providing it with the right growing conditions and regular maintenance. This evergreen shrub thrives in partial shade to full sun and well-drained soil. Plant it in a location that receives at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight per day. Water the plant deeply and regularly, especially during hot and dry periods, to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the plant to help retain moisture and suppress weeds. Prune the shrub in early spring before new growth begins to maintain its desired shape and remove any dead or damaged branches. Fertilize the plant in early spring with a slow-release balanced fertilizer to promote healthy growth. Boxwood is generally resistant to pests and diseases, but monitor for any signs of trouble. With proper care, your Buxus 'Green Velvet' will provide you with dense, vibrant green foliage and serve as an excellent choice for hedges, borders, or as a focal point in your garden.
