Helleri Holly Care

Grow this helleri shrub in part sun to partially shaded areas. It can handle full sun in the morning so be sure to pick the right planting spot. This Japanese holly is drought tolerant but be sure to water well the first year of planting to establish a strong root system.

The ilex crenata helleri can grow to be 3-4 feet tall and 4-5 feet wide at maturity. It is pretty slow growing but in time will take up space. Holly ilex crenata prefers moist, well drained soils that are acidic soils but other than that not too picky. The soil pH will help keep the dark green leaves small and glossy.
