Prefers moist, acidic soils. Shallow root system benefits from mulch. Blooms on old wood; however, it's best to avoid pruning female hollies as pruning after bloom removes any developing fruit. Protect from winter winds in cold climates. Note that when grown in a container, it may not perform exactly as indicated on the tag - this is to be expected. Also note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden. Be aware that in our climate, most plants cannot be expected to survive the winter if left in containers outdoors, and this plant is no exception. NOTE: Some flowers and plants may be harmful or poisonous to people or pets if touched or ingested. If you require more information before placing an order, please let us know in advance. |
