{"product_id":"needlepoint-holly","title":"Needlepoint Holly","description":"\u003cp\u003eNeedlepoint Holly is a dense evergreen shrub with glossy dark green leaves and a naturally upright form. Small white spring flowers may be followed by bright red berries when a compatible male holly is nearby, giving screens and foundation beds welcome winter color. It handles Southern heat well once established and can be pruned as a hedge or allowed to grow as a large accent. Available for local pickup from Towns Edge Nursery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePlant details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eIlex cornuta\u003c\/em\u003e 'Needlepoint'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to part shade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7-9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e About 10-15 feet tall and 8-12 feet wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glossy dark green evergreen leaves with a single pointed tip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowers and ornamental feature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Small white spring flowers and red berries on pollinated female plants\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom season:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spring, with berries coloring in fall and often holding into winter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate while establishing; provide well-drained soil and deep water during extended dry periods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dense, upright shrub\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLandscape uses:\u003c\/strong\u003e Privacy screens, hedges, foundation beds, large accents, and wildlife gardens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeer tolerance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not reliably deer resistant, so protect young plants where browsing is common\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSouth Carolina garden note:\u003c\/strong\u003e Needlepoint Holly is well suited to Zone 8b.
