A popular garden staple for its evergreen foliage and versatile nature, boxwood is useful for hedging, massing and topiary work. It's considered the gold standard for rounded boxwood. Green Velvet is a dense, mounded form that is effective as a short hedge and planted in groups for year-round greenery. Small, dark green leaves maintain their color through the winter. If shaping, trim in mid to late June. Not fussy as long as the soil is not wet.

Note: All boxwoods from Chalet are final sale. Boxwoods are non-refundable due to risk of spreading pathogens.
