Plant Features

Buxus 'Green Velvet' Boxwood stands as a testament to lush resilience and elegance in the realm of evergreens. This compact boxwood boasts a broad-mounded form, maturing to a manageable height and width. Its glossy, dark green leaves present a velvety texture, with older growth bearing deeper green hues and new shoots showcasing vibrant, light green tones, offering a layered, rich impression.

Planting Instructions:

  • - Can be planted anytime the soil temps are 60F

Soil Preparation:

  • - Enhance poor soil with compost or aged manure to improve drainage

Watering Specifics:

  • - Water deeply once a week during the growing season, more often during dry spells
  • - Ensure soil is moist but not soggy, as Boxwood does not like "wet feet"

Fertilizer Type:

  • - Feed with a balanced fertilizer in early spring to support foliage growth
  • - A second feeding in mid-autumn can help prepare the plants for winter

Pruning and Training:

  • - Prune in late winter to early spring before new growth starts
