Lively Emerald Foliage Offers Vibrant Texture

Why Green Velvet Boxwood Shrubs?

Appearing almost velvety to the eye, the Green Velvet Boxwood Shrub makes a rich impression. This sparkling evergreen is aptly named, with its display of old growth in darker shades of green, and its new growth shining brightly in vivid shades of light green that adds texture, depth and dimension.

Plus, it grows in a natural sphere. Add one or multiple shrubs to an existing garden, or grouping. They're perfectly suited to enhance both casual and formal settings, and the Green Velvets are easygoing...with pest resistance, disease resistance and sturdy, adaptable growth that even stands up to deer. Urban smog, changing climates, and drought won't harm it either.

Small but Healthy!

We ordered 10 boxwoods to line our front walk. They arrived on time in one large box. The plants all appeared healthy upon arrival (moist soil, no yellow leaves). I watered them and let them sit on our front porch a few days before planting. We planted them the other day, and they look great! (see pics) We're looking forward to many, many years of these boxwoods lining our walkway!

Green velvet boxwood

I received 6 beautiful shrubs ready to plant. An unexpected cold spell hit the next day, so they were kept in the garage for nearly 2 weeks until frost danger had passed. They are all thriving well, gracing the walkway steps in the back. Very pleased with the purchase!

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHi Linda, thank you for sharing your update! It’s wonderful to hear your Green Velvet Boxwoods are thriving and adding beauty to your walkway. Wishing you continued success as they grow!

Smaller than I thought it would be for a 3 gallon container.
