Holly

Holly plants are broadleaf evergreen* plants; many varieties feature red berries. Hollies always look fresh and may be a shiny dark green or green and yellow pattered. Taller varieties may be shaped into small trees to be planted as hedges or specimen plants. Dwarf varieties work well as border plants or lower growing hedges. Hollies are typically either male or female so plant a partner nearby to ensure a good crop of berries.
