Buxus 'Green Velvet'
1-5 gallon pots range in price from $34.99 to $54.99 This hybrid combines the hardiness and compactness of the Korean boxwood with the velvety deep green foliage of the English boxwood. The rounded shrub or small tree grows best in a mixture of sand and clay soil, receiving both sun and shade. Plants grown in full shade will have decreased foliage. On the other hand, when growing in full sun, the foliage may scorch, turn brown in winter, and suffer from mite attacks. Morning sun is best.
Buxus 'Green Velvet'
Set top of rootball two inches above the ground level. Mix half garden soil and half planting mix. Mound soil to form water basin.
'Green Velvet' is tolerant of pruning; however, pruning should be done after the last frost. Pruning will lead to tender new shoots, which can be damaged by a late frost.
