Holly Inkberry Gem Box® (Ilex)
$54.99 – $59.99
Description
A great native alternative to boxwood!
This cool new dwarf, broadleaf evergreen looks more like a boxwood than an inkberry. A dense, ball-shaped plant, Gem Box ilex has small, dainty, dark green leaves with attractive red tips during the spring flush. It maintains good branching right to the ground so it never looks bare-legged like other cultivars may. It’s great as a small evergreen hedge or used as a container specimen in milder climates.
Uses Notes
Hedging, container gardens
Maintenance
Prefers moist acidic soils. Good shade tolerance. Prune to shape in late winter. Apply an evergreen fertilizer in spring.
Popular Uses
Border Plant, Container, Edging Plant, Landscape, Mass Planting, Specimen or Focal Point
