Product Description

Sky Pencil Holly (Japanese)

Sky Pencil Holly rings true to its name, growing tall but not wide! It is a densely-branched evergreen bush. This accent plant has an outline that looks like a green column. Its lustrous, dark green leaves are beautiful all year through. Sky Pencil prefers well-drained and slightly acidic soil. Because of its vertical, columnar growth habit, it needs very little pruning. This bush is ideal for narrow spaces or a formal-looking hedge row. Sky Pencil looks excellent in a container by your garage door! 

 

Holly Bush

Holly (Ilex) bushes are very common, hardy and easy-to-grow. They are evergreens, which give you beauty all season! Holly bushes have glossy leaves and give berries, provided that a male pollinator is nearby. One male can pollinate up to 7 females. Holly Bushes will likely need pruned in the spring to maintain their shape. These shrubs thrive in full sun or partial sun areas. They prefer well-drained, slightly acidic soil and do not like heavy soil. Holly bushes can be used for privacy hedges or as an accent in a large garden area.
