Ilex Green Lustre
Ilex Green Lustre (Holly) is a densely compact evergreen shrub prized for its neat, boxy form and naturally mounding habit that fits perfectly into formal and modern landscapes. The waxy-smooth dark green foliage of Ilex Green Lustre provides rich year-round color and a refined texture that works beautifully for low hedges, borders, and foundation plantings. In spring, Ilex Green Lustre Holly produces small, inconspicuous flowers that may develop into clusters of glossy black berries in fall when properly pollinated, adding subtle seasonal interest that can last through winter. Thriving in moist, slightly acidic, well-drained soils, Ilex Green Lustre is valued for its durability and low-maintenance performance. As a dioecious holly variety, Ilex Green Lustre requires both male and female plants nearby to ensure reliable fruit production and consistent ornamental appeal.
