Compact beauty for small spaces

This diminutive garden holly showcases a unique charm with its shiny, deep green leaves and a dense, rounded habit. Maturing to less than 1 foot tall, it serves as a perfect accent in troughs, rock gardens, or small garden designs. Its globose form not only adds texture but also provides a lively contrast among larger plants, making it an ideal choice for enriching your landscape with a touch of elegance.

Choosing this lovely holly not only enhances your garden's visual appeal but also supports beneficial wildlife. As a female plant, it may bear bright red berries when pollinated, bringing additional seasonal interest. Its low-maintenance nature ensures that even the busiest gardeners can enjoy its beauty without the hassle of rigorous upkeep.

Planting & Care

1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Choose a location with well-draining soil and partial to full sun exposure. To help the plant settle in, ensure the root ball is level with the soil surface.

2. Watering: Water the plant regularly, especially during dry spells. While established plants are somewhat drought-tolerant, consistent moisture will promote healthy growth.

3. Pruning: Light pruning can be done to maintain the desired shape or to remove any dead or damaged branches. Prune in late winter or early spring.

4. Fertilizing: Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to support new growth. Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to excessive leaf growth at the expense of berry production.
