Ilex Liberty™
Ilex Liberty™ (Holly) is a dense, upright evergreen shrub prized for its bold structure and distinctive heavily serrated, glossy leaves set against dark stems, creating striking year-round texture. In spring, Ilex Liberty™ produces small, inconspicuous white flowers that, when pollinated, develop into abundant bright red berries, which can persist well into winter, adding seasonal color and attracting birds. Ideal for hedges, screens, and foundation plantings, Ilex Liberty™ thrives in moist, slightly acidic, well-drained soils and performs well in both sun and partial shade. Gardeners value Ilex Liberty™ for its reliable growth habit, ornamental foliage, and long-lasting berry display. Its compact upright form and vivid seasonal interest make Ilex Liberty™ a versatile and low-maintenance choice for formal or natural landscape designs.
