LUCKY MARBLE® MALE JAPANESE HOLLY -

2-3 Feet Tall 3 Feet Wide--

Ilex crenata Lucky Marble® is an eye-catching variegated Japanese holly appreciated for its dense, fine-textured foliage that displays a striking marbled pattern of deep green and soft, buttery yellow. Reaching a compact mature height of roughly 2 to 3 feet with an upright, naturally rounded habit, it offers the neat, formal appearance of boxwood without the susceptibility to boxwood blight. The small, non-spiny leaves maintain their vibrant color throughout the year, making it an excellent broadleaf evergreen for adding multi-season structure and year-round brightness to foundation plantings, formal low hedges, or decorative container displays.

Lucky Marble® Japanese Holly thrives in full sun to partial shade - the brighter light produces the contrast in its variegated leaf pattern. It prefers moist, organically rich, well-draining soil with an acidic to neutral pH, as alkaline soils can lead to chlorosis. It is ideal for foundation plantings and can easily replace traditional boxwoods along home fronts and entryways without overflowing windows or walkways.
