A great alternative to boxwood!

This cool new dwarf, broadleaf evergreen looks more like a boxwood than an inkberry. A dense, ball-shaped plant, Gem Box ilex has small, dainty, dark green leaves with attractive red tips during the spring flush. It maintains good branching right to the ground so it never looks bare-legged like other cultivars may. It's great as a small evergreen hedge or used as a container specimen in milder climates.

Plant Gem Box® Inkberry holly in well-drained, acidic soil with full sun to partial shade. Space plants 2-3 feet apart. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep, extensive root system. Once established, water as needed, especially during dry periods. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer. Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and encourage dense growth.
