What makes Green Velvet Boxwood special?

A cold-hardy evergreen with glossy foliage that stays vibrant green year-round, perfect for hedges and topiaries in zones 5-9.

What Growing Conditions Does It Need?

Green Velvet Boxwood thrives in USDA zones 5-9 and handles both full sun and partial shade (4-6 hours daily). It prefers well-drained soil with slightly acidic to neutral pH and grows to a compact 3-4 feet tall and wide. In zone 9's extreme heat, provide afternoon shade for best results.

How Do I Plant and Care for Green Velvet Boxwood?

Plant your boxwood in spring or fall, spacing them 2-3 feet apart for hedging. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and plant at the same depth it was growing in the container. Water thoroughly after planting and apply 2 inches of mulch around the base.

For ongoing care, water consistently during the first year, then deeply during dry spells once established. Fertilize in spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer. Light pruning in late winter or early spring maintains its naturally rounded shape - this boxwood care guide covers trimming techniques.

What Are the Key Benefits?

Green Velvet gives you evergreen structure without the high maintenance. Its dense, compact growth creates perfect low hedges and borders without constant trimming. The glossy green foliage stays vibrant through winter when most plants look drab.

This variety won both the 1997 Styer Award and 1998 Michigan Growers' Choice Award for good reason - it's exceptionally cold hardy compared to other boxwoods. Once established, it's drought-tolerant and adapts to various soil conditions, making it ideal for formal hedge designs.

What Should I Know Before Buying?

Green Velvet Boxwood grows slowly, adding 3-4 inches per year, so buy larger plants if you need an immediate impact. Plant in spring or early fall for best establishment before temperature extremes. While deer-resistant, protect young plants in areas with heavy deer pressure.

This boxwood pairs beautifully with colorful perennials like Russian Sage or Lavender for contrast. For a classic look, combine with other versatile boxwood varieties to create knot gardens or formal borders. Container growing works well for patios - just ensure adequate drainage and winter protection in zones 5-6.

This is a great Simpsons comic from Bongo Comics and Harper! This book has some funny spoofs on books/series such as Shakespeare,The Bible,1001 Arabian Nights,and Greek Myths. My favorite is the Humpty Dumpty spoof! The Fairy Tales [the one with Humpty Dumped] is also cool! Simpsons and/or Matt Groening fans will LOVE this book!

"I ordered Christian fairy tales on the internet and they sent me Hans Christian Andersen ones by mistake!"---Ned Flanders
Format: Paperback
As was first done with "Simpsons Comics Hit The Road," "Simpsons Comics Get Some Fancy Book Learnin'" actually follows the theme of the title and cover art. All the comics have the Simpsons characters portraying figures in literature from Greek Mythology to Shakespeare. The longer comics are very well done but some of the shorter ones at the end fall flat. Still, I enjoyed this change of pace from the usual Simpsons comics. It offers a very clever use of characters. "Greek To Me"--Homer plays, well, Homer (the Greek poet) who tells four stories to a gathering of children. The first is "The Labors of Hercules" with Bart as Hercules. He only completed 10, but hey, 10 out of 12 is a B+ which is the best grade Bart ever got. In the second story, Homer is Hades who abducts Marge...er, Persephone...and is taken to court over it. In the third story, Selma is Medusa and Perseus (Bart) has to cut of her head or face 100 years detention. Finally, Homer tells a string of Aesop's Fables like "The Fox and the Grapes," "The Tortoise and the Hare," and--my favorite--"The Ant and the Grasshopper" where Homer is the grasshopper and Flanders is a hilarious-looking ant! There are a lot of clever lines in this one, especially Barney as Oedipus. "Pandora, Jr."--A 5-page comic with Lisa explaining the story of Pandora's Box to Maggie. Maggie doesn't learn the lesson. Fairy Tales--Ralph plays Humpty Dumpty in a 2-page short, then there are a string of Hans Christian Andersen tales that Lisa saves from the Flanders's book burning BBQ. Lisa reads the stories to Rod and Tod. There is "The Little Mermaid", "The Prince and the Pea" (featuring Smithers and Mr. Burns), "The Shadow" (featuring the Comic Book Guy), "Thumbelina", and "The Story of a Mother." My favorite is "The Ugly Duckling." I like the scene where Marge the swan takes in the ugly duckling Bart saying, "It's not like I haven't compromised before," while watching a fat Homer swan swigging beer and burping. Arabian Tales--Dunyazad (Marge) tells King Shahryar (Moe) stories to keep from being put to death. The first one is the best. Ned Flanders is Aladdin who finds a lamp containing an incompetent genie (Homer). His wishes grant him an all-you-can-eat buffet and go-go bar and an angry wife Maude brought from the dead in skeleton form. The other stories are "Apu Baba and the Four Thieves" and "Sinbart The Sailor." Shakespeare--Plays parodied are "Antony and Cleopatra," "Julius Caesar," "Henry V," "Romeo and Juliet," "The Two Gentlemen of Verona," "Richard III," "Titus Andronicus" (in Itchy and Scratchy cartoon form), and "King Lear." Most of these, in terms of punch lines, are pretty weak. Bible Stories--Bart tells Rod and Tod some Bible stories to calm them down after they find out Sunday School is canceled. The stories parodied are "The Prodigal Son," "Abraham's Sacrifice," and "Noah's Ark." These comics were, on the whole, funnier than the Shakespeare ones.
