Full-Bodied Habit Shapes Easily into Any Form
From its English ancestry, 'Green Velvet' gets its year-round color, keeping its hue throughout the toughest of winters. For Korea, it gets its remarkable hardiness and�versatile, compact habit.
Clusters of pale green to cream flowers offer fragrance from their position�nestled among the small, oval leaves that add a bronze tinge in late winter. The shrub, which prefers full sun or partial shade, grows less 1 foot per year and repels deer and other wildlife.
Adapting to numerous types of soils that are not usually wet, 'Green Velvet'�shapes beautifully and tolerates various climates.
Developed in Ontario, 'Green Velvet' is another in a proud line of outstanding Boxwood, a staple of great gardens in America and Europe.
