How We Ship Your Plants
From our nursery to your doorstep
Ordering live plants online should feel exciting, not stressful. We only ship healthy, well-rooted trees and plants, packed to arrive ready to thrive.
We never cut corners on roots
Some nurseries cut corners to save on shipping. A strong root system is the foundation for long-term success, so your plant should arrive ready to thrive, not struggling to recover from shortcuts.
We never
- Ship bare-root plants
- Cut roots to fit a plant into a small box
We always
- Ship plants with healthy, developed roots, so they establish faster at your home
- Put plant health first, not minimizing shipping costs

Support materials keep your plant upright and steady.
Pot & root protection

Reinforced boxes
Larger trees ship in oversize boxes built for their size and structure.
Several plants in one box? That's on purpose. It spreads the weight evenly, which keeps your plants safe and secure throughout delivery.
Shipped with FedEx

Over the years, we've found FedEx to be the best carrier for live plants, especially larger items. Want a different date? You can request a custom ship date.

FedEx delivers quickest across the country.
Gentle handling

Less plant stress
Faster transit means less time in the box.
Nurseries on both coasts
We ship from multiple locations across the country, including both the East Coast and West Coast. This lets us:
- Deliver faster in more regions
- Reduce time in transit for your plants
- Ship large items more efficiently
How we measure your trees
When you order a 5–6 ft. tree, you get a tree that's 5–6 ft. tall above the soil, not "including the container." You'll know what to expect when it arrives, and what it will look like in the ground.

Green Velvet Boxwood: Easy-Care Evergreen for Hedges, Borders, and Containers
Add year-round color and a neat, polished look to your landscape with Green Velvet Boxwood. This popular evergreen shrub has dense, rich green foliage and a naturally rounded shape that looks attractive in every season.
Fresh new growth comes in a lighter green shade, adding soft contrast before it deepens in color. Green Velvet Boxwood works well in formal gardens, relaxed landscapes, foundation beds, borders, hedges, and large outdoor containers.
Why You'll Love Green Velvet Boxwood
Year-Round Evergreen Color: Dense green foliage keeps your landscape looking full through spring, summer, fall, and winter.
Naturally Rounded Shape: Green Velvet Boxwood grows into a tidy form with very little pruning.
Great for Hedges: Plant several together to create a clean, classic evergreen border.
Easy to Use in Many Landscapes: It fits well in foundation beds, walkways, garden borders, formal designs, and mixed plantings.
Good Deer Resistance: Deer tend to leave boxwood alone more often than many other landscape shrubs.
Low Maintenance: Once established, Green Velvet Boxwood is easy to care for and handles many common landscape conditions well.
Dense Green Foliage in Every Season
The standout feature of Green Velvet Boxwood is its thick evergreen foliage. Mature leaves stay deep green, while new growth appears in brighter, lighter shades.
This mix of old and new growth gives the shrub extra depth and texture throughout the growing season.
A Naturally Rounded Boxwood With Little Pruning
Green Velvet Boxwood grows into a soft, rounded shape without needing constant trimming. This makes it a smart choice if you want a neat landscape without a lot of extra work.
You can leave it in its natural form or lightly trim it for a more formal look.
Where to Plant Green Velvet Boxwood
Hedges: Plant several in a row for a low, polished evergreen hedge.
Foundation Plantings: Use it near your home to add year-round structure and a finished look.
Walkways and Borders: Line paths or garden beds with compact evergreen color.
Accent Plantings: Use one shrub as a simple focal point in a mixed landscape.
Formal Gardens: Its dense foliage and rounded shape work well in clean, structured designs.
Large Containers: Grow Green Velvet Boxwood in outdoor planters to frame patios, porches, and entryways.
Green Velvet Boxwood Sun and Soil Needs
Sunlight: Green Velvet Boxwood grows well in full sun to partial shade. In hotter areas, some afternoon shade can help protect the foliage.
Soil: Plant in well-drained soil. Avoid areas where water stays around the roots for long periods.
Watering: Water regularly while the shrub is becoming established. Once established, it can handle short dry periods better.
Tough Enough for Everyday Landscape Conditions
Green Velvet Boxwood is known for being dependable in a wide range of settings. Once established, it can handle changing weather, urban landscapes, and short periods of dry soil.
It also has good resistance to many common pest and disease problems, helping make it a practical choice for easy-care gardens.
Perfect for Containers and Entryways
Green Velvet Boxwood also grows well in large outdoor containers. Its compact shape and evergreen foliage make it useful for adding structure near doors, patios, porches, and outdoor living spaces.
Choose a container with good drainage and enough room for the roots to grow comfortably.
A Classic Evergreen for Easy Landscaping
If you want a shrub with dense green foliage, a naturally rounded shape, easy care, and year-round beauty, Green Velvet Boxwood is an excellent choice.
Plant Green Velvet Boxwood for polished evergreen color, simple maintenance, and a versatile look that works in almost any landscape.
