Ilex Crenata 'Helleri' is a moderate growing shrub that can be grown in USDA Plant Hardiness Zones 5A through 8B. It matures to an average height of 2 feet to 3 feet and an average width of 4 feet to 6 feet, depending on climate and other environmental factors. It prefers growing in a location that provides full sun, morning shade with afternoon sun or filtered sun and grows best when planted in loam or clay soil that is well drained or moderately drained. The foliage is medium green in color.
Noteworthy Characteristics
Heleri Holly is a low mounding evergreen shrub with small, rounded, boxwood-like, dark green leaves. It responds very well to shearing making it an excellent selection for a low formal hedge or tiight "mushroom cap" shape that hugs the ground.
Uses
It's naturally dense and mounding habit to about 2-3 feet in height with a spread of 4-6 feet, and the fact that it responds very well to shearing, makes the Heleri one of the best evergreen shrubs for use in foundation plantings. The shrub can be kept to about half its mature size with regular pruning or shearing. It can also be useful as an underplanting for mid-size trees such as Crape Myrtle and Japanese Maples, or as a low-growing natural to formal hedge.
Culture & Care Tips
The Helleri Holly is easy to grow in locations that provide well-drained soil and full sun to light shade. Avoid planting in soils that remain consistently soggy as this will cause problems with the roots. It is drought tolerant when established only requiring supplemental irrigation during prolonged periods of drought during summer.
