Ilex crenata 'Hoogendorn'        

The Japanese Holly 'Hoogendorn' is an exceptional dwarf shrub, offering a compact, broadleaf evergreen groundcover that’s perfect for saving space. Its dense, mounding form spreads wide and effectively chokes out weeds, creating a lush, green carpet year-round. If you're growing female Ilex crenata varieties nearby, 'Hoogendorn' will help with pollination as well.

Originally discovered at Hoogendorn Nursery in Middletown, this hardy shrub is cold-tolerant and drought-resistant. It grows low and tidy, maintaining its naturally compact shape without needing pruning. With its fine-textured, dark green foliage, it serves as an excellent alternative to Boxwoods. Hardy in USDA zones 6 to 9, it matures to a spread of 2-3 feet wide and reaches a height of just 18-24 inches.

Key Features:

  • Compact and low-maintenance: 'Hoogendorn' grows densely without the need for pruning, making it a hassle-free groundcover.
  • Weed-blocking: It forms a thick, weed-resistant carpet, ideal for planting under trees, around larger shrubs, or in open areas.
  • Versatile landscaping use: It’s perfect for creating short borders around garden beds, along walkways, or as a spillover in planters and along paths.
  • Ideal for mass plantings: Create a beautiful, low-maintenance groundcover that serves as a natural mulch, adding greenery between shrubs and trees.
  • Great for foundation planting and containers: It makes an excellent foundation plant or container evergreen, providing year-round appeal with minimal upkeep.

This plant is ideal for anyone seeking an attractive, low-growing, easy-care shrub that provides both aesthetic value and practical benefits.
