Green Velvet Boxwood FAQ

How Many Of These Do I Need To Make A Hedge?

Plant your boxwoods 2-3 feet apart to create a tight knit hedge from a 2-4 foot spread at maturity.

How To Shape A Green Velvet Boxwood

Prune back 1/3 of the shrub in late winter to early spring and trim according its natural round shape for a clean look. Thining the upper part of the shrub will allow sunlight, air circulation, and water to penetrate and promote new growth on theninner parts of the hedge.

What Are Good Companion Plants For These Boxwoods?

Ligustrum, loropetalum, and daylilies pair well with these shrubs. Plant in groups, as a single bush, or in containers for an upscale look around your patio or entryways.

Green Velvet Boxwood Care

Green Velvet Boxwoods grow in full sun to part shade. They adapt well to a variety of well-draining soils. Water deeply twice weekly when newly planted to help the roots grow properly. Add 2-3 inches of mulch to help your new plants stay moist. Once established this boxwood is drought tolerant. However, boxwoods will perform best when watered once weekly during dry periods, including in winter. Bronzing can occur when the roots are dry and this evergreen is exposed to sun, wind, and freezing temperatures. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, slow release fertilizer to give your boxwood a boost. Pruning can be done anytime of the year. However, it is best to avoid pruning in late fall as pruning will stimulate new growth that will be too tender to survive the freezing, winter temperatures.

This boxwood is pollution tolerant as well as pest, deer, rabbit, and disease resistant.
