Ilex Creneta

Japanese Holly

Ilex or Hollies are versatile, evergreen shrubs known for their glossy foliage and suitability for hedging and topiary. They are low-maintenance and slow-growing, making them an excellent choice for formal gardens.

Ilex crenata 'Jenny' is a compact, evergreen shrub with minutely scalloped, glossy dark green leaves, ideal for topiary and hedging. This variety closely resembles the traditional box hedge, offering a perfect alternative with similar aesthetics and dense growth.

Ilex crenata 'Jenny' requires minimal care, needing clipping just a couple of times a year to maintain its shape. It thrives in moist but well-drained, humus-rich soil and can be planted in sun or partial shade.

This hardy shrub is an excellent choice for creating neat, formal hedges or intricate topiary designs, providing year-round structure and greenery to any garden.

The Ilex Crenata 'Jenny' Ball is a sophisticated and enduring feature for any garden, carefully sculpted into perfect spheres. These refined shapes bring a touch of elegance and order to outdoor spaces, serving as striking focal points.

Where Should I Site Place My Ilex Crenata 'Jenny' Ball?

Ilex Crenata 'Jenny' Balls flourish in diverse environments but perform optimally in spots that receive partial shade to full sun. Plant them in well-drained, fertile soil to avoid waterlogging, which can harm the roots. Soil that retains moisture well is ideal and using a soaker hose can help maintain consistent moisture levels, particularly during warmer weather.

Growth and Pruning

Ilex Crenata 'Jenny' Balls are slow growing, allowing them to retain their intricate forms with less frequent trimming. They typically reach a height of 50-100 cm, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments. Regular pruning is crucial to preserve the spherical shape and encourage robust growth. Trim by removing weak, dead, or damaged branches and clearing debris at the base. To accentuate the topiary's structure, remove any protruding branches with sharp shears. This enhances airflow and promotes healthy growth.

  • Thrives in partial shade to full sun with well-drained soil.
