Description

One of the most commonly used shrubs in home foundation plantings, 'Compacta' Holly is a hardy and attractive, boxwood-like, evergreen shrub with rounded, dark green leaves. This offering is for shrubs that have been sheared to form a pyramidal shape. They can be maintained at 4 to 5 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide at the base.


Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 4 to 5 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide (depending on pruning), the Pyramidal Compacta Holly is one of the most popular plants for use in the ground or in containers to accentuate entryways. Plant one on either side of the front door or other entryways. Also ideal for use as a specimen, in small groupings, or in straight or staggered rows to line a drive or walkway. Excellent for an outdoor Christmas tree!

Suggested Spacing:  7 feet or more apart for space between plants

Note:  For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 5a, where this Japanese Holly is not winter hardy, you'll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.


Growing Preferences

Compacta Holly is easy to grow in sites that provide well-drained soil and full sun to part shade. We suggest at least 5 hours or more of direct sun light per day. As with so many other types of ornamental plants, constantly soggy or wet soils can cause root rot or other harmful plant diseases. Where there is a soil drainage concern, either improve drainage or plant in raised beds to ensure proper drainage.
