Japanese Holly

Ilex crenata ‘Jenny’ – Compact, Evergreen Hedging for Neat Low Borders (10cm Pot)

Ilex crenata ‘Jenny’ is a refined Japanese holly variety, loved for its small, glossy dark green leaves, compact habit, and natural box-like appearance. Supplied in a handy 10cm pot, this versatile evergreen is ideal for creating neat, low hedges, edging borders, or forming tight shapes in formal garden designs. A reliable and disease-resistant alternative to Buxus, ‘Jenny’ is especially useful in areas where box blight is a concern.

Slow-growing and easy to maintain, it responds well to clipping and is suitable for topiary or knot gardens. Perfect for patios, paths, or traditional parterre schemes, it brings lasting elegance with minimal effort.
