A very striking, exceedingly narrow female form of the Japanese Holly, which grows as a tall, very narrow column to 6 ft. but not exceeding 10ö in width. Perfect as a vertical accent in the mixed border, a very narrow hedge or a corner planting with little room to maneuver.
This muted pewter-foliaged selection is wonderful, I think, for combining with other variegated plants in the woodland or sunny border alike, or as a reflective component in a sea of green. Stiffly upright growth possessing a bit of asocial behavior, responds to shearing, if you desire a more fully cloaked specimen. Ultimately to 8 ft.
An upright form of this durable evergreen species with finely textured glossy green foliage along stems to 4 ft. while the small white flowers in spring result in crops of white rather than the normal black fruit. As with all hollies, this is dioecious and a male of this or a closely related species must be lurking close by for substantial fruit set. Very pretty in our light woodland garden arising from a sweep of Euphorbia amygdaloides var. robbiae.
