A perfectly miniaturized holly with beautiful dark, glossy, spiny green leaves but forming a tight little mound that will take a decade to reach a foot tall. Rock Garden is a female, so if you have male hollies around the garden, you'll get pretty little red berries. This has been a good grower for us, despite the fact that most hollies don't find our soil acidic enough. Zone 5

This is one of the first true dwarf compact hollies and only grows to about 12-18" in 10 years. It has a dense, low spreading habit. The leaves are similar to the I. meserveae but they are an olive green color and only about 1-2" long with small spines. This holly has red berries held in compact clusters. RARE!
