Plant as single specimen (gorgeous under snowfall) or line it up for a reliably dense hedge. Use to soften unsightly corners of fences or buildings, or plant at the back of shrub and perennial borders for reliable year-round foliage. Leave unsheared to attain full height and width for screens or to disguise utilities. |

| History | This is a unique combination of both male and female plants are meservae hybrids. This group of improved hybrids was derived from crosses between cold hardy prostrate Ilex rugosa and the popular English holly, Ilex aquifolium. The series was developed by Mrs. F. Leighton Meservae of St. James, New York with repeated crossing during a breeding stint in the 1960s. |
