Description

One of the most commonly used shrubs in home foundation plantings, ‘Compacta’ Holly is a hardy and attractive, boxwood-like, evergreen shrub with rounded, dark green leaves. This offering is for shrubs that have been sheared to form a pyramidal shape. They can be maintained at 4 to 5 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide at the base.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing 4 to 5 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide (depending on pruning), the Pyramidal Compacta Holly is one of the most popular plants for use in the ground or in containers to accentuate entryways. Plant one on either side of the front door or other entryways. Also ideal for use as a specimen, in small groupings, or in straight or staggered rows to line a drive or walkway. Excellent for an outdoor Christmas tree!

Suggested Spacing: 7 feet or more apart for space between plants

Note: For our customers who live and garden north of USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 5a, where this Japanese Holly is not winter hardy, you’ll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.

Growing Preferences

Compacta Holly is easy to grow in sites that provide well-drained soil and full sun to part shade. We suggest at least 5 hours or more of direct sun light per day. As with so many other types of ornamental plants, constantly soggy or wet soils can cause root rot or other harmful plant diseases. Where there is a soil drainage concern, either improve drainage or plant in raised beds to ensure proper drainage.

I am so happy with my first time purchase from Wilson Bros. I had been looking locally since the Spring for some sort of topiary to place in our entrance but I wasn’t able to find anything. I assumed it was either because I waited to long or because you have to have a wholesale number to work with a Nursey. When I stumbled across Wilson Bros website and decided on these shrubs due to their shape, size and price, I crossed my fingers that they would arrive healthy and with minimal damage. They arrived in perfect condition. They were well watered and appeared to have done quite well on their journey. I asked for a matching pair similar in height and shape and although one was about a inch shorter and appeared to have a bit of a bald spot on one side (which may or may not have been due to shipping), it was a very similar match. I planted it such that the little bald area was against a house pillar and would have the luxury of slowly filling out without having to be too noticeable. All in all, for the price and size, I would definitely recommend to others.—————————————–I’m sure it fill out nicely! The photo looks great! We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy them for years to come! Thanks for the great review! 🙂 Beth Steele | WBG

The Pyramidal Compacta Japanese Hollies that I ordered were shipped very quickly and were well packaged. The shrubs were exactly as described and appeared very healthy. They are already on the front porch with Christmas lights on them and they look great. Based on my experience so far, I highly recommend Wilson Brothers Gardens.—————————————Hi Wesley, Thanks so much for taking the time to provide your review of the Pyramidal Compacta Japanese Holly.
