Compacta Holly

A  deer-resistant holly for structured hedges and borders

Love the look of formal hedges but don’t love all the upkeep? Slow-growing Compacta Holly is often mistaken for boxwood, but this one grows in a natural ball shape that looks crisp and clean with just once-a-year pruning. It’s evergreen in most climates, which makes it a great backdrop for annuals.

Plus, bees love it! It’s also a smart choice for foundation plantings or adding privacy along fence lines, in both sun and shade.
