Ilex crenata 'Dwarf Pagoda'

Japanese Holly

Plant Type:

BROADLEAF EVERGREEN SHRUBS

Ilex crenata 'Dwarf Pagoda' – This miniature form of Japanese Holly is a natural in the Japanese garden, in a container and perfection for the bonsai enthusiast as no two plants are alike in their personal architectonics. Glossy, round and congested leaves of great substance set densely sans petioles on stems which grow irregularly. Angular stems can easily be trained accentuating individual character. Ilex crenata 'Dwarf Pagoda' is of great character even at a young age which only becomes increasingly distinctive in time. Part sun in fertile ground. Small, well-rooted starter shrub, cutting grown.
