Notes
'Stoke's Dwarf' weeping yaupon holly (Ilex vomitoria 'Stoke's Dwarf') is a shrub for borders, containers, hedges, and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full sun to full shade and dry to wet, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows at a rapid pace and stays evergreen. Fragrant spring flowers draw butterflies, bees, and birds. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything.
Pairs well with Sasanqua camellia, Carolina jessamine, and Virginia spiderwort.
