Ilex crenata ‘Jersey Jewel’ is a distinctive, jewel-like plant that brings individuality to your garden. Its tiny, deep green, oval, and cup-shaped leaves are arranged in alternating layers at 90° angles on short, stiff branches, giving it a unique, irregular form. ‘Jersey Jewel’ makes a perfect companion plant for dwarf conifers, adding structure and texture to your landscape. Similar to ‘Dwarf Pagoda’ but with smaller leaves, it thrives in rich, acidic soils and grows well in both sun and partial shade.
