Compacta Holly

Compacta Holly is a dense, slow-growing evergreen shrub that offers tidy structure and year-round greenery. Its small, glossy, boxwood-like leaves make it a perfect low-maintenance alternative to boxwood, with improved pest and disease resistance. Naturally rounded and easy to shape, it's ideal for low hedges, borders, foundation plantings, or formal garden designs.

This versatile shrub performs well in sun to partial shade, tolerates pruning, and holds its neat form without much effort - making it a landscape favorite for structure, simplicity, and evergreen color.
