Glow Stick® Japanese Holly thrives in full sun to part shade with moist, well-drained, acidic soil. Sunnier exposures produce the most vibrant golden foliage; in shadier conditions, color may be more subdued. It tolerates acidic, slightly alkaline, and clay soils with adequate drainage. Water regularly until established, then maintain consistent moisture for best performance. This narrow gem is practically maintenance-free and has no serious pest or disease issues. Plant in groups or use as a standalone specimen for a bold, sculptural effect. Shop now!
