Description
Hedge Box® Japanese Holly is the ultimate low-maintenance evergreen hedge plant, offering a naturally upright, columnar form that stays tidy year-round without constant shearing. Growing 4–7 feet tall and just 2–3 feet wide, this refined Japanese holly forms a polished, dense wall of small, glossy, dark green leaves that resist spider mites better than many competitors. It’s the ideal replacement for boxwood, with superior heat tolerance and durability in challenging urban conditions.
- Naturally upright, columnar habit, 4–7 ft. tall, 2–3 ft. wide, minimal pruning needed
- Dense, glossy, dark green foliage year-round
- Superior spider mite resistance compared to many Japanese hollies
- Tolerates heat, salt, and urban soils, extremely adaptable
- Excellent boxwood alternative, evergreen structure without the disease risk
- Small white spring flowers add seasonal interest
- Hardy in Zones 5–9
Hedge Box® Japanese Holly thrives in full sun to part shade with moist, well-drained, acidic soil. It tolerates clay, compacted urban soils, and salt spray, making it one of the most versatile evergreen shrubs available. Water regularly when young; once established, it is moderately drought tolerant. Light trimming in late winter can refine the shape if desired, though the natural form is naturally attractive. Use as a hedge, foundation plant, accent, or border specimen wherever year-round structure is needed. Order today and create the perfect evergreen framework for your landscape!
