Notes

'Berri-Magic Royalty' American holly (Ilex 'Berri-Magic Royalty') is an evergreen shrub for hedges, privacy screens, and foundation plantings. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to wet, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It blooms in early to late spring, and bees and birds visit it. Deer usually look elsewhere for a meal. Give it room as a screen or hedge.

Pairs well with Chokeberry, Karl Foerster feather reed grass, Wide Brim hosta, and Paper birch.
