The new Ilex crenata Green Glory combines the best attributes of a Buxus and a Holly (Ilex). It has glossy dark green foliage, and the plant is hardy (to -22°C) producing lovely clusters of white flowers in spring. Consequently, the Forever Green Glory is very bee-friendly. It is also very robust and resistant to disease. This makes the plant ideal for any form: from topiary ball to hedging.

Characteristics

  • Green all year-round
  • Glossy dark-green foliage
  • Male (without any berries)
  • Resistant to disease
  • Produces clusters of white flowers in spring
  • Bee-friendly

Native to Japan, Ilex Crenata, also known as Japanese Holly or box-leaved holly, looks very similar indeed to Buxus Sempervirens, but if you look closely, you will see a crenate (scalloped) margin.

Ilex Crenata is low maintenance and slow growing. It really is an easy plant to grow and is not prone to the problems that occur with our beloved Buxus. Making topiary or creating shapes is really where this plant comes into its own but it also looks very effective as low to medium height hedge. It is hardy and handsome with its lovely light green new growth, offsetting the darker green of the older foliage. Most of us will know Ilex Crenata as the plant used to create spectacular cloud trees crafted in the ancient Japanese Niwaki style.
