Ilex crenata

Ilex crenata is a slow-growing, evergreen shrub often chosen as a more robust alternative to box (Buxus sempervirens), as it’s not affected by box blight or box moth, and is more tolerant of low temperatures. It’s perfect for growing as a green foil behind more colourful plants, clips nicely into a ball, and works well in pots.
