Inkberry Holly

Upright branches are covered with leathery, dark green leaves that make an excellent screen for privacy. Black, berry-like fruit is produced if a male pollinator is nearby. Withstands heavy pruning and is often used in hedges, container plantings and for topiary. Thrives in moist, acidic soils in partial to full sun and is shade-tolerant but will lose the lower leaves, becoming leggy at the base. Evergreen, low-maintenance, pest and disease-resistant.

Plant Care & Installation Quick-Guide

Proper acclimation and installation are key to your plant's success. Please cross-reference these tips with your plant's specific ID tags:

·
Pre-Planting: Store plants in a light-appropriate area on soil or grass (avoid hot concrete or asphalt) and water daily until the soil is saturated and the pot feels heavy. If temperatures drop below 30°F, move pots to a garage or cover them to prevent root freeze.

·
Installation: Dig a hole matching the depth of the pot, remove the fabric container, and ensure the plant’s crown or root flare is level with the ground. Fill gaps with soil, water heavily, and apply 2 inches of mulch—keeping it clear of the stem.

·
Ongoing Care: Check moisture daily by feeling 1–2 inches into the soil; water deeply at the base if the soil feels dry or warm. Newly installed plants require frequent watering (up to 3–4 times weekly in heat) until fully established, which can take a few months for perennials and up to two years for trees.
