Plant of the Week: Sky Pointer Japanese Holly

Sky Pointer® Ilex crenata is an improved version of the familiar 'Sky Pencil'. It is similar in habit to 'Sky Pencil', growing 4-5' tall and staying very narrow and strongly pyramidal. It's a great choice for adding year-round architecture to your garden and lends itself to a number of creative applications, from a unique accent in a perennial bed to contemporary container gardens. 

Hollies are versatile shrubs that look great year-round, but really steal the show come winter. Sky Pointer holly's shiny, dark evergreen leaves and tight, upright branching make this a must-have plant. 

Sky Pointer holly does well in full sun or part shade and is hardy to USDA Zone 6.
