Ilex crenata 'Stokes' is an elegant shrub that will add good structure to a formal planting scheme with its small-growing habit and evergreen, dark to mid-green, glossy foliage. Its white flowers from May to June are followed by black fruits in winter. With a compact growing habit and small leaves, it is ideal for topiary shaping and also for hedging. And another unusual use is bonsai making! Ideal for Hedges, Ground Cover, Cottage Gardens, Alpine & Rockery, Low Maintenance Garden and Woodland Garden. Plant Holly trees in garden borders in any moist, well drained garden soil, in full sun or semi-shade. Mature height and spread: 90-100cm. Supplied as 1 x 3-litre potted plant.
