Boxwood trees, including the popular Green Mountain and Green Velvet varieties, are versatile, evergreen shrubs prized for their dense foliage, year-round color, and ability to be easily shaped or maintained naturally. Ideal for USDA Hardiness Zones 4–9, these boxwoods thrive in well-drained soil and partial to full sun, making them perfect for hedges and borders. Both varieties are cold-hardy, deer-resistant, and require minimal maintenance.
