Description

Evergreens always have an immediate appeal in the garden center and landscape yard, and this shrubby form of Foster holly (a naturally occurring hybrid between North American natives I. opaca and I. cassine) offers everything people want. It grows as a neat, tall mound, with glowing golden foliage all the way to the ground. Arching branches and narrow leaves create compelling texture in this versatile, useful evergreen.
