Lusterleaf Holly
Ilex latifolia is an excellent addition to our Holly mix. Much sought after for its shade tolerance and large Magnolia-esque foliage, this beauty can be very hard to come by. It is a slow grower that doesn't require much pruning, sports dark green foliage, bright red berries, and is an excellent choice for screening or as a large growing specimen.
