About this plant

The 'Greenleaf' Holly is a standout hybrid evergreen, boasting luxuriant, dark green leaves that maintain their vibrant color through all seasons. Its compact, upright growth habit makes it an excellent choice for a variety of landscape applications, from formal hedges to individual specimens. This robust holly provides reliable visual interest and is remarkably adaptable to different soil conditions once established. While it is a female cultivar, it needs a male pollinator nearby (such as Ilex opaca 'Jersey Knight') to produce its signature bright red berries, which add a festive touch and attract local birds during the fall and winter months. Ideal for creating privacy screens, foundation plantings, or as a stately accent, the 'Greenleaf' Holly is a low-maintenance yet high-impact addition to any garden design, promising enduring elegance and an abundance of seasonal charm.
