Japanese holly Ilex 'Luxus Globe' - Hardy plantThe perfect hedge! That's the strong Japanese holly 'Luxus Globe' (Ilex crenata). The low growing plant is well suited as a replacement for the buxus. After two years, little white flowers bloom on the holly in the spring. The holly is evergreen and winter hardy! Prune or shape the holly in spring and summer. Position the plant in a place with plenty of sunlight. Water the plant sparingly. Only give extra water during dry periods.
