Description
Ilex crenata, known as Japanese Holly, is a compact evergreen with a naturally orderly way of growing. Its small, fresh green leaves give a Japanese holly hedge a refined, box-like appearance, often chosen where a crisp finish is required with a little more resilience.
Japanese holly hedging establishes well and responds enthusiastically to regular trimming, forming a dense, structured hedge that holds its line with calm confidence. Evergreen foliage keeps the hedge looking composed throughout the year, making Japanese holly hedge plants a popular choice where precision matters and standards are high.

How will my hedge arrive?
All our Hedging is supplied with a rootball wrapped in hessian as standard. Container grown options are also available out of season or upon request. We’ll be happy to discuss the best format for your needs before finalising your order.
Growing & Care
Japanese holly grows best in moist but well-drained soil and prefers a position that isn’t too exposed to the elements. It’s perfectly happy in full sun or partial shade, provided moisture is kept consistent while it settles in. Regular light trimming is essential — Japanese holly enjoys being guided gently and often, rather than ignored and then dramatically corrected. Treated with this kind of steady attention, it responds with dense growth and an outline so crisp it looks self-satisfied.
Common Uses
Japanese holly hedging is ideal for low, formal hedges, borders and planting schemes where clean lines are very much the point. Frequently chosen as a box alternative, it works beautifully in both contemporary and traditional gardens, bringing structure without weight. It’s particularly effective in places where a refined finish is expected to hold its nerve all year round.
