Ilex crenata 'Compacta', commonly known as Compacta holly, is a dense, slow-growing evergreen shrub prized for its small, glossy green leaves and naturally rounded form. Its fine texture and compact habit make it an excellent choice for low hedges, foundation plantings, borders, and formal landscapes where a neat appearance is desired year-round.

Care Needs:
• Light: Full sun to partial sun
• Water: Water regularly until established; once established, water during extended dry periods
• Pruning: Prune as needed in late winter or early spring to maintain shape
• Fertilizer: Apply an acid-forming, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to promote healthy growth
