Description
The Ilex crenata 'Luxus Globe' is a new variety of crenate holly with a naturally compact and rounded habit, resembling a miniature boxwood. This evergreen non-prickly bush bears small rounded leaves with a beautiful glossy green color, remaining persistent throughout winter. It is a male cultivar that does not produce berries. Very hardy and disease-resistant, it thrives in poor limestone soil, preferably moist, in full sun or partial shade. Perfect for borders or in a pot on the terrace, and great for topiary!
Crenate holly is a shrub native to Japan and belongs to the Aquifoliaceae family. The 'Luxus Globe' variety is a Dutch selection from 2017. It has a moderately fast growth rate, with a compact and rounded habit, reaching an average height of 60 cm with a spread of 50 cm. It is also characterised by its small, rugged, flat leaves of a relatively dark green colour, crenate, glossy, and non-prickly. All hollies are dioecious plants, meaning there are individuals with male flowers and female individuals. Only the female ones bear fruits. 'Luxus Globe' Japanese holly is a male cultivar that does not bear fruit.
With a faster growth rate than boxwood and malleable to everyone's whims, Ilex crenata 'Luxus Globe' will satisfy gardeners who appreciate well-maintained hedges and plant sculptures. It is perfect for low-monospecific hedges. 'Luxus Globe', with its beautiful ball shape, is well-suited for planting in pots before a house entrance or on the terrace. It will also be very interesting for borders or topiaries.
Hollies are both beloved plants and unknown plants. The genus includes nearly 800 deciduous or evergreen species, generally native to the temperate northern hemisphere. These very ancient plants have experienced the alternation of glacial, dry, and hot periods in our climatic history, making them highly adaptable and resistant plants. Their white to cream wood is very low in water, even when green. It is dense and heavy but soft and easy to work with in cabinetmaking. It is also an excellent fuel for heating, even when green. Finally, its foliage and berries (inedible) are rich in caffeine. A tea is prepared with its leaves in the Black Forest.

Planting and care
To plant the 'Luxus Globe' holly bush, make a generous addition of compost to the soil in your garden and incorporate it, in order to slightly acidify the soil while enriching it. If your soil is rich in active limestone, the holly bush will tend to develop chlorosis (the foliage gradually turns yellow around the leaf veins). Choose a partially shaded or shaded location in a warm climate. Follow the watering schedule (with non or low limestone water) for the first 3 years, especially during dry spells, to help the young plant establish itself. It will then manage on its own, as it tolerates drought quite well. The ilex can be attacked by holly leaf miners, white scale insects in spring, and mites and aphids in summer. Consider applying a preventive treatment at the beginning of the season. Ilex crenata prefers climates that combine cold winters and mild summers.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
