Evergreen Ilex crenata (Japanese holly)
Color Name: Brass Buckle®
This evergreen is as cute as a button! One of the most dwarf Japanese hollies available, Brass Buckle shines all year long because of its glossy, clear yellow, burn-resistant foliage. It's perfectly suited to edging walks and borders, as a container plant in milder climates, or as a striking accent in a rock garden. The fresh color of this variety is much nicer than that of other gold-leafed varieties.
Growing Tips: Chlorosis may occur on alkaline soils. Super dwarf habit all but eliminates the need to prune. Grows in shade, but color and form are best with some sun.
Soil: Ideally, grow in moist acidic soils with good drainage. Tolerates urban conditions well, however.
Pruning: Seldom needed, may be shaped in late winter.
Uses: Unique dwarf yet fastigiate habit is ideal for landscapes and containers. 1' width saves space in narrow beds and small gardens.
