Ilex Crenata Topiary Balls

Ilex crenata Topiary Balls offer a similar aesthetic to Box Topiary Balls, due to the small, glossy green foliage and dense habit. Because of their similarity to Buxus Sempervirens Topiary, without the susceptibility to Box Blight & Box Moths, Japanese Holly Topiary Balls are becoming an increasingly popular alternative.

• Best Features: Glossy dark evergreen foliage, year-round interest, slow-growing so keeps its shape well
• Ideal For: Garden features, patios, punctuating hedges, doorways and entranceways
• Growth Rate: Slow | 10-20cm a year
• Position: Any normal soil, in sun or semi-shade, inland exposed or sheltered.
• Also Consider: Box Topiary Balls are the classic look topiary, whilst another alternative that's resistant to Box related diseases and pests is Taxus baccata Topiary Balls.
