Buxus is a genus of about 70 species of evegreen shrubs and trees from Europe, Asia, Africa and Central America. Genus name comes from the Latin name for plants in this genus. Common name of boxwood is in reference to the prior use of the wood to make boxes. Another theory on common name is that boxwood describes the quadrangular (square box cross section) stems of young plants. ‚¬˜Green Velvet‚¬„¢ is a broad-mounded, compact form (B. sempervirens x B. microphylla var. koreana) of boxwood that will mature to 3-4‚¬„¢ tall and as wide. Opposite, glossy, dark green leaves are evergreen. Pale green flowers are inconspicuous.
Note: The plant is shipped in its pot, firmly secured with several layers of clear tape, thereby avoiding any shuffling and moving during transit. The plant reaches you with minimal damage- very safe and secure. We have been shipping plants like this for several years (plant are sometimes shipped in smaller pots for safety and ease of shipping). Most plants go dormant in fall and winter and will lose most of their leaves - looking dead and dry - very normal. They will flush out in spring. We cannot send ship some plants and some sizes to California due to restrictions placed by department of agriculture."
