The new Luxus series is the sum of the best characteristics of Buxus and Ilex. If you are looking for a tough, adaptable and disease-resistant alternative to Buxus (box) topiary, then the Ilex 'Luxus' offers the perfect solution.
A small, bushy evergreen shrub about 60cm tall, making it ideal for low hedging. Small, glossy, oval to rounded leaves emerge pale green before maturing to dark green.
Ilex Luxus Hedge is a stunning appearance with its natural, compact shape. It reaches a height of 60 cm and a width of 50 cm. Like Buxus, its leaves are dark green, glossy and flat. Ilex crenata Luxus Hedge is strong. This shrub is disease-tolerant and winter hardy to -22 ºC. It keeps its green colour throughout the year, unlike several other Ilex-varieties.
Luxus Hedge is very easy to maintain. It requires less pruning than other Ilex varieties. It’s a masculine plant, so your garden will be free from toxic berries. Luxus Hedge is excellent for usage in public green spaces and for mass planting. Also very suitable as a low hedge and for topiary.
