Holly
Ilex China Girl
Ilex China Girl Holly is a slow-growing, mounding evergreen shrub valued for its dense branching and sharp-toothed, glossy dark green foliage that provides rich year-round texture. The female plants of Ilex China Girl Holly produce small, inconspicuous spring flowers that, when pollinated, develop into abundant bright red berries that persist well into winter and attract birds. Ideal for foundation plantings, low hedges, and mixed evergreen borders, Ilex China Girl Hollyadds structure and vibrant seasonal color to the landscape. This hardy holly thrives in moist, slightly acidic, well-drained soils and performs well in both sun and partial shade. As a dioecious variety, Ilex China Girl Holly requires a compatible male holly nearby to ensure reliable fruit production and consistent ornamental value throughout the seasons.
