  • Description / Ilex Hedge Box® Japanese Holly

    Ilex Hedge Box® Japanese holly is a smart, modern alternative to boxwood, offering reliable structure without the risks of blight or pests like box tree moth. Its super-dense foliage and upright, columnar habit make it ideal for narrow hedges, privacy screens, or space-saving borders in both formal and informal landscapes. This versatile evergreen brings tidy elegance year-round.

    Unlike typical Japanese holly, Hedge Box® features flat leaves, which reduce susceptibility to spider mites. It's fast-growing enough to establish quickly but remains controlled in its shape, requiring little pruning to maintain its clean lines. Resistant to clay and salt, it also tolerates heat well, making it adaptable to urban environments and tough sites.

    This Proven Winners® ColorChoice® Flowering Shrubs variety introduction has performed exceptionally in Michigan trial gardens, demonstrating strong cold hardiness and healthy, consistent growth. Its lush green foliage provides year-round interest, and its resilience makes it a low-maintenance solution for hedging needs. Use it to create crisp garden outlines, soft privacy screens, or to replace struggling boxwoods with confidence.
