Low growing and evergreen, Hoogendorn Japanese Holly is ideal for growing as a low hedge or edging for a pathway. Ilex crenata 'Hoogendorn' as it is botanically known, produces dark green, glossy, small leaves, which give a similar appearance to boxwood and look attractive throughout the winter. With a low and spreading habit, Hoogendorn is a tough and hardy evergreen that is perfect for adding structure and interest to any garden.

Being deer resistant, this holly is suitable for both urban and rural gardens. It requires regular watering while it gets established, but once it gets its roots down, it is wonderfully low maintenance. Widely used by landscapers due to its neat and dwarf habit, Hoogendorn Japanese Holly is often used to define borders and edge lawns. It is also highly suitable for container growing.  

Hoogendorn Japanese Holly Care

Hoogendorn Japanese Holly prefers to be grown in either full sun or partial shade. Being a tolerant shrub, it can cope with most soils as long as they are free draining. However, it does prefer moist soil, especially for the first few years after planting. Suitable for growing in zones 5 to 8, this Japanese holly is exceptionally cold hardy. To keep this plant healthy and promote lush, green growth, a slow-release, general fertilizer can be applied in early spring. 

To keep this shrub looking neat, any single wayward branches can simply be cut back using a pair of pruning shears at any time of the year. In spring, after its new growth appears, it can be given a trim to keep it to the desired size and shape. In exposed areas, a layer of mulch can be applied in the fall to protect the roots from the worst of the cold.

Hoogendorn Japanese Holly Spacing

The Hoogendorn Japanese Holly can grow to a final size of 4-5 feet high by 5-6 feet wide. When grown as a hedge, plants should be spaced at a distance of 3-6 feet apart, depending on how closely you want them to knit together. If you choose to grow this Japanese Holly in a planter, select a pot around 8 inches wider than its current root ball.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
