#ProPlantTips for Care:

Japanese Holly does best in full sun and partial shade. Not finicky with soil type and rarely needing pruning, Patti O Box® does need well-drained soil with moderate fertility to do her best. If pruning is desired, do so in the spring after the first flush of growth. A 3-4 inch thick layer of mulch over the root system helps maintain moisture and insulation year-round.

  • Full Sun & Partial Shade
  • Any Type of Well-Drained Soil
  • Moderate Moisture Needs
  • Salt Tolerant & Seldom Bothered By Deer
  • Rarely Requires Pruning - Prune After First Flush of Growth
