Description
Ilex Crenata ‘Kinme Deco’ is a cultivar of Ilex Crenata, commonly known as Japanese Holly or Box-leaved Holly. It is a compact, evergreen shrub that is prized for its dense, small-leaved foliage and its ability to be shaped and pruned into various forms, including topiaries and hedges.
‘Kinme Deco’ is known for its attractive and distinctive foliage. The leaves are small, ovate to elliptical in shape, and have a glossy, dark green colour.
The compact growth habit of ‘Kinme Deco’ makes it an excellent choice for creating formal hedges, borders, or geometric shapes in garden designs. Its small size also makes it suitable for container planting, allowing for versatile use on patios, balconies, or in small gardens. It can be pruned and sheared to maintain a desired shape and size, making it a popular option for topiary enthusiasts.
In terms of growing requirements, ‘Kinme Deco’ prefers well-draining soil and can tolerate both full sun and partial shade, although it tends to perform best in areas with some protection from intense afternoon sun.
