About this plant
Buxus x 'Green Velvet' is a hybrid boxwood beloved for its lush, vibrant green foliage that retains its color throughout the year. Perfectly shaped into three distinct ball forms, this compact shrub adds a touch of elegance and structure to gardens, landscapes, or container setups. It is well-suited for formal hedges, foundation plantings, or as an accent piece. Its dense foliage resists deer browsing and adapts well to shearing for maintaining clean edges.
