Ilex aquifoluim 'Lawsoniana'

Lawson's Holly, or Ilex aquifolium 'Lawsoniana,' is a visually arresting evergreen shrub that may bring year-round appeal to your landscape. Its lustrous, dark green foliage has brilliant yellow centres that are exquisitely variegated, making for a striking contrast. It bears tiny white blooms in the winter and red berries, which are the preferred food of birds. Because of its hardiness and low maintenance requirements, this holly is perfect for borders, hedges, or as a single plant.

Plant in a sunny or partly shady spot in well-drained soil. During dry spells, give it regular watering to keep it flourishing. Every year, prune to keep it in shape and promote dense growth. Combine with other evergreens, such as yew or boxwood, to create a visually appealing and varied landscape.
