Dwarf Burford Holly Shrub

Ilex cornuta 'Burfordii Nana'

The Dwarf Burford Holly Shrub is renowned for its glossy evergreen leaves and traditional red berries, but with a twist—its nimble stature that blends in just about everywhere. This extensively used shrub is still dense and layered yet perfect for natural hedging around windows, along fences, and elsewhere. It is well suited to warmer climes. It is a more compact variation of the Holly that is most in demand nowadays.
