INSIGHTS
Use this globe as an architectural element in the garden – either as a specimen piece or as a framework for design. Its compact nature also makes it well suited to smaller gardens and container planting. Convexa is a female ilex, so needs a male holly to cross pollinate its small white flowers for production of glossy black fruit in autumn.
