Collection: Holly
Evergreen Structure & Seasonal Berries
Hollies are cornerstone plants for residential landscapes, delivering year-round evergreen foliage, architectural form, and vibrant winter berries. From compact foundation varieties to stately screening specimens, our holly selection includes proven cultivars that thrive across diverse conditions—offering reliable performance, wildlife value, and timeless appeal.
Why Hollies Excel
- Year-round presence: Glossy evergreen foliage provides structure and color through all seasons
- Winter interest: Bright red, orange, or black berries persist into winter, attracting birds and adding seasonal drama
- Design versatility: Foundation plantings, privacy screens, hedges, specimen accents, or naturalized groupings
- Proven durability: Drought-tolerant once established, deer-resistant, and adaptable to sun or partial shade
Selection & Pairing
Most hollies are dioecious, requiring both male and female plants for berry production. Plant one male for every 3-5 females within pollination range. Consider mature size carefully—dwarf varieties suit foundation beds, while larger cultivars excel as screens or specimens. Pair with camellias, azaleas, or ferns for layered texture and seasonal bloom.
Care Essentials
Plant in well-drained, slightly acidic soil with adequate sunlight for best berry production. Water consistently during establishment, then reduce frequency as plants mature. Prune lightly in late winter to shape or control size, avoiding heavy cuts that remove berry-bearing wood. Mulch to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
