Conifers & Hollies

Conifers and hollies anchor landscapes with year round color, clean structure, and dependable screening for privacy, wind, and noise. From dwarf globes to tall, narrow columns, conifers thrive in full sun to part shade with well drained soil, rewarding light seasonal pruning and deep, occasional watering once established. Hollies add glossy foliage, spring bloom, and bright berries on female plants when a compatible male is nearby, with selections for sun to shade and soils from average to slightly acidic. Use compact forms to edge paths and frame foundations, mass mid size choices for hedges and property lines, and reserve a sculptural specimen as a classic focal point near an entry or patio. Mix textures and greens with variegated or blue needles for four season contrast, mulch to keep roots cool, and match plant size to the space for long lasting, low maintenance performance.
