Holly

Holly brings year-round structure through glossy foliage, with bright berries on pollinated female plants. Choose from traditional Ilex aquifolium and compact forms suited to topiary, containers or hedging. Hollies grow in full sun or partial shade, provided the soil is moist yet well drained; where berries are important, check whether a male pollinator is needed. For complementary planting ideas, browse shrubs, trees, plants for winter interest and wildlife & birds.
