Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This handsome dwarf (3-6') shrub bears its small white blooms heavily over a long period making it a fine pollinator for Afterglow, Aurantiaca, Harvest Red, Autumn Glow, Red Sprite, Cacapon and others. One male holly will pollinate 8-10 females. Although the males do not bear the showy fruit they are fine landscape shrubs and have nice yellow-to-purple fall color. S/M-W
