Nellie R. Stevens Holly

Ilex 'Nellie R. Stevens'

Plant portrait: A dense evergreen holly with glossy leaves and red fruit that brings structure to every season.

Garden rhythm: Large shrub or small tree; sun to part shade, adaptable soil, moderate water while establishing.

Garden companions: Small flowers serve bees; fruit and shelter support birds.

Worth noticing: Usually fruits well, but a compatible male holly nearby can increase berry set. Berries are not for human consumption.
