This evergreen is as cute as a button! One of the most dwarf Japanese hollies available, Brass Buckle® shines all year long because of its glossy, clear yellow, burn-resistant foliage. It's perfectly suited to edging walks and borders, as a container plant in milder climates, or as a striking accent in a rock garden. The fresh color of this variety is much nicer than that of other gold-leafed varieties.
Prefers moist acidic soils with good drainage and a good layer of shredded bark mulch. Pruning is seldom needed, but may be shaped in late winter. Apply an evergreen fertilizer in spring. Plant in full to partial sun.
