Expert Gardener Soft Touch Holly 2.5 Gallon Evergreen Shrub Live Outdoor Plant

This Soft Touch Holly is a live evergreen shrub with soft, glossy green leaves and a silver midvein for standout color and texture in the landscape. Its compact mature size of 2 ft to 3 ft high and 2 ft to 3 ft wide makes it easy to place as an accent, along a border, or in foundation areas. Inconspicuous blooms develop into black berries that last through winter, adding seasonal interest after the growing season. For planting, dig a hole twice as wide as the pot and mix rich garden soil with your native soil. Set the top of the root ball 1/2 in above ground level when backfilling, then use a slow-release granular fertilizer in spring to support healthy growth.
