Buxus 'Green Velvet'
Choose Green Velvet Boxwood if you want a rounded evergreen that gives a foundation bed or low hedge tidy structure without constant clipping; the tradeoff is slow growth, so it is not the pick for quick size or screening.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B+ | It gives clean evergreen structure, but it is more about order than drama. |
| Growth Rate | C+ | It fills in steadily but slowly, so buy the size you can live with now. |
| Maintenance | A- | Its natural rounded shape keeps pruning light if you do not force a tight formal outline. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | Boxwood is one of the most deer-resistant shrubs we grow; its foliage deters browsing, though no plant is fully immune. |
| Small Space Fit | A | It stays compact enough for entries, walkways, and foundation corners without becoming a space problem. |
| Screening Value | C | It works for low separation, but it is not the shrub to choose for privacy. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Green Velvet Boxwood when a customer wants a neat evergreen base planting and does not want to fight a fast-growing shrub with constant shearing.

No; prune lightly to shape, or leave it mostly natural.
It has strong deer resistance, which is one reason we recommend boxwood in exposed yards.
Not really; use it for low structure, not screening.

Very dedicated and professional. We are happy with the way they planted 14 trees for us. 11 green giants, 2 white pines and 1 Norway spruce.
Picked up my plants-ostrich ferns and blue ice amsonia without any problems! Wonderful, responsive owners! Will be buying from them in the future!
Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
