Green Velvet Boxwood (Buxus x ‘Green Velvet’) is a hardy, rounded hybrid that combines the best traits of Korean and English boxwoods—excellent cold tolerance, dense growth, and vibrant evergreen color. Maturing around 2 to 4 feet tall and wide, it forms a soft, natural mound with minimal pruning. Green Velvet is easy to shape, stays full through winter, and thrives in full sun to part shade. It’s ideal for formal or informal borders, walkways, and foundation beds, offering year-round structure with low maintenance.
