Skip to product information
Grow a bold, attractive evergreen with Ilex cornuta, commonly known as Chinese Holly. This durable evergreen shrub or small tree is valued for its thick, glossy dark green leaves, distinctive spiny margins, and bright red berries that provide excellent winter interest.
Chinese Holly is widely used for hedges, privacy screens, foundation plantings, and ornamental landscapes due to its dense growth habit and strong tolerance of heat, drought, and urban conditions. The berries are attractive to birds and wildlife, and the plant offers year-round structure in the garden. Like most hollies, Chinese Holly is dioecious, so berry production occurs on female plants when a male is present.
You will receive:
✔️ 25 fresh, viable seeds
✔️ Open-pollinated
✔️ Carefully packaged for successful planting
