Shrubs/ Helleri Holly

Common name: Helleri Holly  
Scientific name: Ilex crenata
Pronunciation: EYE-lecks kren-NAY-tuh
Characteristics: Height: 6 to 10 feet
                            Spread: 5 to 8 feet
                            Light requirement: plant grows in part shade/part sun
                            Flower color: white
                            Leaf type and persistence: evergreen
                            Landscape use: The Dwarf Japanese Hollies are best used in mass groups as low shrubs, low hedges, or tall groundcovers. The compact habit of growth, slow growth rate, and small leaves make these ideal plants for use as clipped, formal hedges. Adjacent plants will often grow together looking like a row or group of green mounds. Eventually, the crowns grow completely together forming a sea of green.
