Ilex Crenata 'Hoogendorn' is a moderate growing shrub that can be grown in USDA Plant Hardiness Zones 5A through 8A. It matures to an average height of 1 foot to 3 feet and an average width of 3 feet to 4 feet, depending on climate and other environmental factors. It prefers growing in a location that provides full sun, morning sun with afternoon shade or morning shade with afternoon sun and grows best when planted in sand, loam, clay or silt soil that is well drained or moderately drained. In the spring Hoogendorn Holly produces white flowers. The foliage is dark green in color.
Hoogendorn Holly can be useful in the landscape in mass plantings, in foundation plantings, in shrub borders, in landscape beds or islands, to accentuate entryways, in small groupings, as a hedge or in medians and also in theme gardens.
Noteworthy Characteristics
Hoogendorn is a dense, slow-growing, broadleaf evergreen Japanese holly valued for its dwarf mounded habit and exceptional cold-hardiness. The small, shiny, dark green leaves resemble those of boxwood. It is more graceful looking than Ilex c. 'Helleri' and has gotten high praise from Dr. Michael Dirr as one of the best of the small-leaf Japanese Hollies.
Uses
Hoogendorn Holly is an excellent choice for foundation plantings, small to large groupings, shrub borders, as a natural or clipped formal low hedge, or on slopes or embankments for erosion control.
Culture
As with all other Japanese Holly, Hoogendorn prefers a moist but well-drained acidic soil and plenty of sunshine, though will tolerate a liitle shade during the hottest part of the day. Can be left to grow naturally or clipped into tight shapes.
