GROWER NOTES:
Ilex glabra 'ILEXFARROWTRACEY' Strongbox® PP30147 is commonly referred to as Strongbox® Inkberry Holly. This is a welcome alternative to boxwood. This Proven Winners® selection features a native, broadly round evergreen shrub that is well-branched right to the ground. Dense green foliage maintains its compact, natural shape through the year.
Strongbox® Inkberry Holly is faster growing than boxwood and offers good deer resistance. It is also resistant to disease, pests and winter burn. It thrives in full sun to partial shade in rich, acidic, evenly moist, well-drained soils. It blooms on old wood so if you trim it, do so in mid to late spring, after the new growth has emerged. This is a female variety that will produce black fruit if there is a male pollinator, such as Ilex glabra 'Pretty Boy', close by.
