Ilex Crenata, commonly known as Japanese Holly, is an increasingly popular choice for gardeners seeking a low-maintenance, evergreen hedge with a refined appearance. Its small, glossy green leaves resemble those of boxwood, making it an excellent alternative for those looking for a hardy, pest-resistant plant that thrives in a variety of settings.
