Description

Eye-catching shrub with striking evergreen foliage, hardy and pest-free natured for year-round beauty, and arrives to you already sculpted into a pyramid topiary shape.

Also known as Japanese Holly, this variety is an easy-grow and robust alternative of ornate hedging, thankfully without the feared pest and disease issues associated with the widely grown Box hedging.

This evergreen Ilex boasts dark and glossy green leaves, very similar to Buxus hedging, and is supplied shaped like a pyramid, ready to display right away!

Leaves are small, yet plentiful, masterfully coating the plant in colour regardless of the seasonal conditions falling on the garden. Plus, summer brings a scattering of dainty white flowers, followed by shiny black autumnal fruits.

A compact variety, which can be planted either directly into the ground, where it provides an excellent foil for your other colourful plants, or in an ornamental planter for the patio, balcony, decking, or even as a pair to frame a door, gate, or pathway – the possibilities are endless!

Very hardy, equipped to survive freezing conditions of -15C and colder, and able to thrive whether in a sunny garden spot or in partial shade.

Supplied as an established plant in a 3L pot, approximately 65-75cm tall, ready to plant.

Top Tips
This topiary shrub needs a trim at least once per year, in early summer, to keep the neat and tidy shape.
Care Information
  • Formal hedges can be trimmed in late summer and a 5-6cm mulch of well-rotted compost or manure added around the base of the plant.
  • Ilex crenata grows well in pots. Try your hand at a range of topiary styles and shapes - it's a great way to get kids involved with gardening and isn't just reserved for grand estates!
  • Take care with those planted in containers over winter to prevent the roots from freezing. Place them in a sheltered spot during severe weather.
  • Feed with a slow-release plant food to keep the foliage healthy.

Planting:

  • Best planted in either autumn or spring in fertile, well-drained soil and kept well watered, particularly when grown in full sun. However, pot-grown plants can be planted any time of year as long as the ground is not wet or waterlogged.
  • Do not allow this to dry out, particularly while young. Check regularly through the growing season and keep the soil moist.
Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
