Dig a planting hole at the same depth as the root ball and twice as wide, then position the shrub upright and backfill while watering to eliminate air gaps. Apply 2–3 inches of mulch around the base, extending 12 inches beyond the canopy to conserve moisture. Water deeply once or twice weekly during establishment and weekly during drought or heat stress. In spring after frost danger passes, you may prune to maintain the rounded shape or allow natural growth. Apply a balanced 10-10-10 fertilizer in early spring before new growth begins.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Florida Plant Nursery","offers":[{"title":"1 Quart","offer_id":45814403334330,"sku":"30410","price":47.92,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/3520\/4026\/files\/green-velvet-boxwood.jpg?v=1777510236","url":"https:\/\/floridaplantnursery.com\/products\/green-velvet-boxwood","provider":"Florida Plant Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
