'Steeds' Holly

(Ilex crenata 'Steeds')

Useful as a narrow, upright-growing evergreen shrub for spots in the garden or at the foundation of your home or deck where you need some height, but don't want much width.

 

Also useful in containers where you wish to keep the plant trimmed in a formal pyramid-shape and underplanted with ivies and colorful perennials or bedding plants.

'Steeds' hollies have small shiny dark-green leaves

year-round and black berries in fall and winter.

 

Plants mature at 5-6' tall by 2-3' wide. May easily maintain at 3-4' tall by once-a-year pruning anytime between March and August. In containers, roots are restricted so plants won't reach their mature size. Expect about 12" growth a year.
