Steeds Holly is a stunning evergreen shrub that works to bring height and beauty to a landscape. The trees have a naturally pyramidal form, and minimal pruning is required. Closely resembling boxwood shrubs, the Steeds Holly shrubs have shiny dark green foliage, small white flowers, and black berries that persist through the winter. Botanically referenced as ‘Ilex Crenata Steeds, ‘ the evergreen shrubs enjoy full to partial sun and well-draining soil conditions. The easy-to-grow plants also prefer slightly acidic soil, but they will easily adapt to most soils. Steeds Hollymakes for the perfect low-maintenance yard plant with significant resistance to pests and disease. These fast-growing landscape trees can grow between 6 to 8 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide. Shearing will make it have a more formal appearance. Popular in use as hedges, yard borders, and foundation plants, the Steeds Holly shrubs will make for a beautiful garden addition. Steeds Hollies are extremely easy to maintain and can be kept at just about any height and width. Steeds can also be sheared into square hedges or topiary shapes.
