Ilex opaca
American Holly

• American Holly is a slow-growing evergreen with sharp, shiny green leaves and smooth gray bark.

• It grows best in well-drained soil in full sun to part shade.

• If a male and female plant are growing near each other, the female will produce iconic red berries in late fall.

• Although its flowers are uninteresting to humans, they are highly attractive to pollinators.

• Deer resistant.
