Steeds Japanese Holly

Steeds Japanese Holly

Bring structure and year-round elegance to your landscape with Steeds Japanese Holly, a refined, upright evergreen shrub prized for its dense, dark green foliage and naturally columnar form. Perfect for hedges, foundation plantings, or formal borders, this versatile holly offers a clean, polished look that stays lush throughout the seasons. Its small, glossy leaves resemble boxwood but with added resilience, and its tidy silhouette requires minimal shaping to maintain. Slow-growing yet strong, Steeds brings dependable texture and architectural interest to both traditional and modern gardens.

Care tips:

• Light: Full sun to part shade; performs well in a variety of light conditions, but avoid deep shade for best form
• Water: Moderate; keep soil evenly moist, especially during establishment—tolerates short dry spells once mature
• Soil: Well-draining, slightly acidic soil; amend with organic matter for ideal growth
• Maintenance: Low; occasional light pruning helps maintain shape and density—typically in late winter or early spring
