Ilex crenata stokes Green Hedge - Hardy Box-leaved Hedging - Pack of 12 Plants

For those that do not have success with Buxus hedging in their garden, or fancy something a little different, this trouble free, evergreen alternative could be just the thing!

With the appearance of the familiar Buxus sempervirens, Ilex crenata is a form of box-leaved Japanese Holly that creates an attractive green hedge with a very similar aesthetic to Box hedging - the foliage is small, glossy and dense habit, which really lends it to making a wonderful low hedge that looks good all year round. Japanese Holly hedging is a hardy, low maintenance plant that is becoming increasingly popular, thriving in a multitude of growing conditions, it is of course nothing like the well known festive English Holly in either growth or appearance!

We supply these plants in packs of 12 bushy plants, at around 10-15cms (3-6 inches) tall. They will establish quickly to form a lovely dense, dark green hedge.

We recommend a planting distance of approximately 15cms (6 inches) between each plant (that's 6 plants per metre), so you'll have your very own knot garden or path edging perhaps in no time at all. High quality pot grown plants in approx. 9cm containers.
