Green Luster Holly Shrubs
Green Luster Holly shrubs are low-growing shrubs with dark green leaves that are perfect for using as a low hedge. Green Luster is drought-tolerant and can grow in a wide range of soil conditions. It is more cold hardy than other Japanese holly shrubs allowing it to be used further north.
Ilex crenata Green Luster prefers full sun but can be equally as happy in part sun. Very versatile and can be used for hedges, foundation plantings, or mass plantings. The black berries are a favorite of songbirds.
