Screen Play Holly

About this plant

Screen Play Holly (Ilex integra x latifolia 'Screen Play') is an exceptional broadleaf evergreen shrub noted for its vigorous growth and dense, dark green foliage. This hybrid boasts an impressive upright, pyramidal form, making it an ideal choice for creating substantial hedges, effective privacy screens, or as a handsome specimen plant. Its leaves are glossy, leathery, and spineless, offering a refined appearance that is soft to the touch unlike many other hollies. While primarily grown for its outstanding foliage and form, mature plants may produce inconspicuous white flowers followed by small, often red berries, which can add a touch of seasonal interest if a pollinator is present. Highly adaptable and low-maintenance once established, Screen Play Holly thrives in a variety of conditions and provides year-round beauty and structure. It's a fantastic solution for gardeners seeking a reliable and attractive living wall.

Care & maintenance

Screen Play Holly is generally low-maintenance. Prune in late winter or early spring to shape and maintain desired size. Water regularly during dry periods, especially during its establishment phase. Fertilize with a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring.
