LUXUS® GLOBE MALE JAPANESE HOLLY -

2-3 Feet Tall 2-3 Feet Wide--

Ilex crenata LUXUS® Globe ('Annys5') is a compact, naturally spherical Japanese holly cultivar specifically selected as a durable, blight-resistant alternative to traditional dwarf boxwoods. Featuring small, glossy, deep green leaves that retain their rich, dark color year-round, it grows into a tight, dense mound reaching 2-3 feet tall and wide without requiring heavy shearing. Because it is a male selection, it produces no berries and remains tidy and non-messy throughout the seasons. Its fine texture, symmetrical habit, and exceptional resistance to root rot and foliage diseases make it a reliable choice for pristine formal borders, foundation plantings, and low-maintenance evergreen accents.

LUXUS® Globe Japanese Holly thrives in full sun to partial shade in moist, organically rich, well-draining soil with an acidic to neutral pH. While it is adaptable to various soil types, ensuring good drainage is key to establishing a strong root system. It handles light pruning or shaping easily in late spring, though its naturally globe-like habit requires very little intervention to maintain its neat form. Its ideal spot in the landscape is along formal walkway edgings, framing entryways in low foundation beds, or structured as a tight evergreen centerpiece in patio containers and knot gardens.
