Ilex Dwarf Burford
Ilex Dwarf Burford (Holly) is a dense evergreen shrub known for its compact growth habit and glossy dark green leaves, each featuring a distinctive single spine at the tip. In spring, Ilex Dwarf Burford produces clusters of small, fragrant, inconspicuous flowers that add subtle seasonal interest and attract pollinators. When properly pollinated, Ilex Dwarf Burford develops abundant bright red berries in fall that persist through winter, providing bold color and valuable food for birds. Ideal for hedges, foundation plantings, and low-maintenance landscapes, Ilex Dwarf Burford thrives in moist, slightly acidic, well-drained soils. As a dioecious holly variety, both male and female plants are needed nearby to ensure consistent fruit production, making it a reliable and attractive choice for year-round structure and seasonal interest.
