 DESCRIPTION

Argenteomarginata is an attractive varigated holly which looks great in every garden. It enhances every evergreen composition, and lightens up shady corners. The shape and size of the leaves are the same as on the common holly, and they have creamy margins along the sharp, toothed edges.

This highly decorative plant is very popular as a half-standard or a shaped shrub. It can easily be pruned to keep it compact. Yearly growths are quite vigorous so you can soon model a desired shape. Pruning in April will encourage new growths, trimming by end July is ideal for shaping.

Grow hollies in moist but well-drained, light and fertile soil. They can take periods of drought once established. Hollies do best in full sun but can also grow in shade. We experienced excellent hardiness down to -24°C. It withstands occasional swings even a little lower. If you live in a region with cold winters with long-lasting frost we recommend growing it in position sheltered from drying winds, and preferably shaded from winter sun. Hardy to USDA zone 6.
