How to grow Ilex crenata 'Convexa' in NZ

To grow Ilex crenata ‘Convexa’ in New Zealand, choose a spot with full sun or partial shade and well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Avoid planting in alkaline conditions, which can cause yellowing leaves. Improve poor soil with compost at planting time and mulch to retain moisture. Water regularly during the first year, then as needed during dry spells. Feed with a slow-release fertiliser in spring. Prune lightly to maintain its shape, especially when used as a hedge or topiary.
