Ilex crenata 'Jersey Jewel'

Common Name: Jersey Jewel Japanese Holly

This jewel of a plant has distinctive structure and foliage that is sure to attract anyone’s attention. Tiny deep green leaves are oval and cup‑shaped. They are arranged with an opposite pattern in layers that alternate at 90° on short, stiff branches. With an irregular habit for the framework, ‘Jersey Jewel’ bursts with individuality when used as a companion plant with dwarf conifers. Similar to ‘Dwarf Pagoda’ but with smaller leaves, it enjoys rich acidic soils. (Iseli Nursery)
