Nigra Japanese Holly
Nigra Japanese Holly (Ilex crenata 'Nigra') is a captivating evergreen shrub admired for its compact and upright growth habit, making it a favored choice for hedges, foundation plantings, or as a focal point in the garden. This cultivar is celebrated for its dense, dark green leaves that have a glossy finish, giving the plant a polished and sophisticated look. The foliage is small, elliptical, and offers a refined appearance similar to traditional holly leaves, without the prickly spines. Nigra Japanese Holly is relatively low-maintenance and can be pruned to maintain its desired shape and size. Inconspicuous white flowers may appear in spring, followed by tiny black berries in the fall, adding seasonal interest. Its adaptability to various soil types and its resistance to pests and diseases make it a resilient and versatile shrub for enhancing the beauty of landscapes.
