Ilex crenata 'Compacta' #1

Bring rich evergreen color and a softly rounded shape to your garden with ‘Compacta’ Japanese Holly. Its small, glossy dark-green leaves and dense branching make it a versatile choice for foundation beds, borders, and neatly shaped hedges.

Enjoy its naturally full form as an accent, or repeat several plants to create a consistent green backdrop for seasonal flowers. Unlike narrow, upright hollies, ‘Compacta’ grows into a broad, rounded shrub.
