Ilex glabra 'Densa'

Holly - Inkberry

Dark green leathery leaves of Ilex glabra 'Densa' are rounder and wider than I. g. 'Shamrock'. It will become a tall but dense-leafed shrub. Takes pruning well. Evergreen, it is also wet site and salt tolerant. The top performer in the recent shrub trials at Longwood Gardens. Found by our cousin Bert Flemer in 1938 at F&F Nurseries in NJ.
