Boxwood (Green Velvet)

Plant your boxwoods in a sunny or partially-shaded area of the garden. It will grow in almost any garden soil that is well-drained. Water regularly when young, but established plants will be unaffected by normal summer dry periods. It has no serious pests or diseases, and clipped plants are normally pest free. Use a fertilizer in spring for the richest and densest growth, but this is a plant that will grow well with minimal care.
