Ilex Convexa

Ilex Convexa, commonly known as the Japanese Holly, is a dense, multi-stemmed, evergreen shrub. It carries small and glossy, dark green leaves which are held off short stems. The foliage is complemented with green-white flowers in spring which result in small, black berries. It typically grows to 1 m tall and 1.2 m wide and can be trimmed as necessary. It performs best when planted in full sun on a well-drained site, and is tolerant of dry periods, cool climates, moderate frost, and coastal environments. The relatively fine texture of Ilex Convexa sets it apart from other landscape plants making it ideal for mixed plantings, topiary, borders, or maintaining in a container. This Japanese Holly is often trimmed into a ball and used to border entrances, added to pool gardens and other living areas, or trimmed into a hedge.

Ilex crenata Convexa Hedge

An Ilex crenata Convexa hedge looks amazing when grown and managed correctly. Start by spacing the plants 40-50 cm apart. This is the optimum spacing for a dense hedge that will grow quickly. As the hedge start to grow opt for a little and often trimming regime. This helps to keep the plants bushy. The most aesthetic Ilex crenata Convexa hedge is achieved by trimming it in spring and again in autumn.
