Planting: \u003c\/strong\u003eChoose a location where your Green Velvet Boxwood will receive full or partial sunlight. If you live in an area that gets very hot, they will do best when given some afternoon shade and well-drained soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen you're ready to plant, dig a hole the same depth as the root ball and twice as wide. Place the Green Velvet upright into the hole, ensuring it is straight, and begin to back fill the hole, watering every couple inches to prevent air pockets from forming. To help retain moisture in the soil and deter weed growth, apply a 2- to 3-inch deep layer of mulch around the base of the boxwood, extending 12 inches past the foliage. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. Watering: \u003c\/strong\u003eWater the Green Velvet Boxwood deeply to ensure the roots are getting adequate moisture. The soil should stay moist but not saturated - generally, this requires watering once or twice weekly. Once it has established, it will need a weekly watering during periods of drought or extreme heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. Fertilizing: \u003c\/strong\u003eApply a balanced shrub fertilizer formula such as 10-10-10 in spring, before the start of new growth. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4.
