Ilex Hoogendorn
Ilex Hoogendorn (Holly) is a low-growing, densely branched evergreen shrub prized for its compact form and flattened dark green foliage that resembles boxwood, making it ideal for formal borders, rock gardens, and foundation plantings. As a male plant, Ilex Hoogendorn does not produce berries but serves as an excellent pollinator for nearby female hollies, ensuring reliable fruit production in dioecious plantings. Thriving in moist, slightly acidic, well-drained soils, Ilex Hoogendorn adapts well to sun or partial shade and provides year-round structure and texture in the landscape. Gardeners value Ilex Hoogendorn for its slow, manageable growth, attractive evergreen foliage, and important role in supporting female hollies for ornamental berry displays. Its dense branching and tidy habit make it a versatile and low-maintenance addition to any garden.
