Tiny, rounded leaves emerge soft yellow before gradually maturing to green, creating a subtle contrast between new and older foliage. For the best and brightest color, 'Lemon Gem' should be grown in full sun and well-drained soil. Its naturally small size makes it especially useful in containers, rock gardens, Japanese gardens, and other intimate garden spaces.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-start=\"490\" data-end=\"930\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"6pdh78\" data-start=\"490\" data-end=\"528\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"492\" data-end=\"509\"\u003eGrowth Habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low, compact shrub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"8v3sum\" data-start=\"529\" data-end=\"584\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"531\" data-end=\"548\"\u003e10-Year Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approximately 1 ft tall × 3 ft wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"13tjzeu\" data-start=\"585\" data-end=\"608\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"587\" data-end=\"603\"\u003eGrowth Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Slow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1rvetwj\" data-start=\"609\" data-end=\"684\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"611\" data-end=\"623\"\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Small, rounded leaves emerge soft yellow and mature to green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"fmdzox\" data-start=\"685\" data-end=\"721\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"687\" data-end=\"697\"\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun for best color\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"16xh88s\" data-start=\"722\" data-end=\"751\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"724\" data-end=\"733\"\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"9apbks\" data-start=\"752\" data-end=\"778\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"754\" data-end=\"768\"\u003eHardiness:\u003c\/strong\u003e Zones 5–8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"qxbojt\" data-start=\"779\" data-end=\"896\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"781\" data-end=\"795\"\u003eBest Uses:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rock gardens, trough gardens, containers, Japanese gardens, small landscapes, and specimen plantings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"nenirz\" data-start=\"897\" data-end=\"930\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong data-start=\"899\" data-end=\"919\"\u003eGarden Interest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Year-round\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Buchholz Nursery","offers":[{"title":"1 Gallon","offer_id":67618515484866,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/9791\/3282\/files\/Ilex.crenata.LemonGem.5.jpg?v=1790619162","url":"https:\/\/buchholznursery.com\/products\/buy-ilex-crenata-lemon-gem-japanese-holly","provider":"Buchholz Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
