Green Velvet Boxwood 12 Inch Live Plant – Buxus ‘Green Velvet’ – 3 Gallon Pot

Green Velvet Boxwood (Buxus ‘Green Velvet’) is a slow-growing evergreen ornamental shrub known for its naturally rounded growth habit, dense branching, and small, lustrous dark green leaves. Its compact structure and attractive year-round foliage make it suitable for formal gardens, foundation plantings, low hedges, and decorative landscape borders.

This cultivar responds well to shearing, allowing it to maintain a neat, structured appearance in formal landscape designs. Green Velvet is also valued for its good winter hardiness, providing reliable evergreen interest through colder seasons. Its small, glossy leaves and rounded form make it a versatile choice for shaped garden accents and symmetrical plantings.

Supplied as one live plant in a 3 gallon nursery pot, with a 12-inch supplier-listed nursery size, Green Velvet Boxwood performs best in well-drained soil with full sun to partial shade. Its slow growth and tolerance of shaping make it suitable for outdoor containers, foundation landscapes, and low evergreen hedges.
