Ilex Crenata Luxus Globe (‘Annys5’) (PBR)

If you are looking for a tough, adaptable and disease-resistant alternative to Buxus (box) topiary, then this could be just the ticket! This bushy shrub has already been clipped into a tight 18cm ball, so it’s ideal for creating a formal look in pots, where it will offer year-round interest. Clipped topiary like this is also invaluable when woven through mixed borders, as it adds a structural element that acts as a foil for the more blousy seasonal froth.
