Compacta Japanese Holly is a compact evergreen shrub grown for its glossy green foliage and neat, rounded habit. This 2.5 gallon live outdoor plant, also known as Ilex crenata 'Compacta,' brings lasting structure to the landscape through every season. Use it to shape hedges, define borders, or add a clean accent in foundation and mass plantings. Its mounding form needs minimal pruning to help maintain its shape. For planting, dig a hole twice as wide as the pot, mix rich garden soil with your native soil, and set the top of the root ball 1/2 in above ground level when backfilling. Apply a slow-release granular fertilizer in spring.
- Mature size: Reaches about 4-5 ft tall and 4-5 ft wide for easy landscape planning.
- Growing zones: Suited for USDA zones 6-9.
- Care needs: Best in well-drained soil, adapts to various soil types, and is a low-maintenance choice with weekly watering guidance.
- Plant details: Includes 1 live shrub in a grower pot with a medium growth rate.
