Ilex, commonly known as holly, is a diverse family that includes a wide range of varieties, both as evergreen shrubs and trees. Each variety varies significantly, with some lacking the signature spiky leaves. Holly is ideal for creating attractive hedges or serving as standout specimen plants, and they require minimal maintenance due to their slow growth.

Ilex crenata 'Caroline Cone', also known as Japanese box-leaved holly, is a compact, bushy shrub with small, scalloped green leaves, making it an excellent choice for topiary. Hollies thrive in moist, well-drained soil and can grow in both sun and shade.

Ilex crenata Caroline Cone is an elegant, evergreen shrub known for its neat, conical shape and small, glossy dark green leaves. This Japanese holly is an excellent alternative to boxwood for formal garden designs, offering year-round structure and interest. Its natural, upright form makes it a popular choice for topiary or as a standout feature in garden beds, borders, or containers. With its dense foliage and refined appearance, it enhances any outdoor space with a touch of sophistication.

Where to Position Your Ilex Crenata Caroline Cone

Ilex crenata Caroline Cone thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil. It adapts well to a variety of soil types and is tolerant of urban environments, making it a versatile addition to gardens in various settings. Regular watering during dry periods will help keep the plant healthy and vibrant.

Growth and Maintenance

Known for its slow and upright growth habit, Ilex crenata Caroline Cone is relatively low-maintenance. Its naturally conical shape requires minimal pruning, though light trimming in late spring or summer can help refine its form. This makes it ideal for formal gardens or as a feature in containers, where its compact structure adds a touch of elegance with little effort.
