The Golden Helleri Holly is a compact bush with tiny leaves free of spines. The foliage is a beautiful golden yellow, holding its color all through the winter. It forms a low mound, between 1 and 2 feet tall and naturally somewhat wider. It is very neat, and doesn’t need trimming, but it can be trimmed into perfect tight balls, simple shapes and hedges as needed. Use it as an accent among your bushes, as an edging plant, as a hedge or in pots and planters for easy brightness.
Full sun will bring out the best color in the Golden Helleri Holly, although it will easily tolerate a little shade. It grows in most soils, as long as they are not constantly dry or wet, and is undemanding once it is established. It can be trimmed as needed from spring to early fall and it is normally free of pests or diseases. Much easier to grow than boxwoods.
