Standing tall and bright, the Glow Stick® Japanese Holly is a revolution for small-space landscaping. This eye-catching evergreen features a unique, narrow columnar habit that reaches up to 6 feet tall while maintaining a slim 12-inch profile. Its most striking feature is the brilliant golden-yellow foliage that "glows" in the garden, providing year-round vibrancy without the risk of sunburn or winter bleaching. Whether used as a sun-brightened hedge, a vertical "thriller" in containers, or a structural accent in tight garden corners, Glow Stick® offers high-impact color with remarkably low maintenance.

Plant Care

Will this plant thrive in your climate?

Make sure you live within USDA Zones 5-9 by checking our Grow Zone Guide.
Planting

Select a location with well-drained, acidic soil. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball but no deeper. Ensure the top of the root ball is level with or slightly above the soil surface to prevent rot.
Pruning

Pruning is seldom required due to its naturally narrow habit. If shaping is desired, perform light trimming in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. Avoid heavy pruning in late autumn.
Fertilizing

Apply a slow-release, granular fertilizer formulated for evergreens or acid-loving plants in early spring. A second light application can be made in early summer if faster growth is desired.
Winter Preparation

Apply a 2-3 inch layer of wood mulch around the base to protect shallow roots. Ensure the plant is well-hydrated before the first hard freeze, as dry soil increases the risk of winter desiccation.
