YouGarden Ilex crenata 'Green Hedge' Japanese Holly in 9cm Pots, Set of 12 Hedging Plants for Gardens, Perfect for Creating Secret Gardens, Evergreen Hedging Plants

Looking for the perfect alternative to box hedging? Ilex crenata 'Green Hedge', the Japanese Holly, looks just like box but performs even better in modern UK gardens. With the rise of box blight and box tree caterpillar in recent years, this evergreen shrub has become a real hero for gardeners needing a tougher, healthier solution.Glossy rounded leaves are almost identical to Buxus in shape and size, but are deeper, richer green - for a classic formal look with extra resilience built in. Ideal for low hedges, border edging or neat path linings, ‘Green Hedge’ is vigorous enough to grow into striking topiary too.Incredibly easy to trim, it regenerates well from old wood, and unlike box, it doesn’t suffer from leaf scorch after pruning - making it ideal for exposed gardens or colder parts of the UK.Supplied as a set of 12 established plants in 9cm pots, ready to plant.
