Notes
'Will Fleming' weeping yaupon holly (Ilex vomitoria 'Will Fleming') is a shrub for specimen, hedge, privacy screen, and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full sun to full shade and dry to wet, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It grows fast with an erect habit, and its evergreen leaves stay on the plant all year. Spring blooms bring bees, butterflies, and birds. Deer tend to browse other plants first.
