Nursery contributed plant descriptions

One of the hardiest and one of the most handsome! This dense pyramidal shrub (to 8-12') features pretty purplish stems which contrast beautifully with its shiny deep-green leaves. Although the white flowers are somewhat inconspicuous, they produce an abundant supply of pollen over a long period making it an excellent pollinator for a number of female hollies. S/M PP3517

A very dense, leathery dark green shrub, it can be pruned to any shape, and, if left natural, tends toward a broad pyramidal shape. It will grow 8 to 12' high. One of the hardiest of the Ilex.
