Compact Inkberry Holly
Compact Inkberry Holly (Ilex glabra 'Compacta') is a versatile and compact evergreen shrub prized for its tidy growth habit and attractive dark green foliage. This cultivar is a more restrained version of the native inkberry holly, making it ideal for small gardens, borders, or foundation plantings. The leaves are small, elliptical, and have a glossy texture, providing a lush and polished appearance to the shrub. Compact Inkberry Holly produces inconspicuous greenish-white flowers in the spring, and if both male and female plants are present, it will bear black fruit in the fall, adding seasonal interest. The berries are not only decorative but also attract birds. This holly is relatively low-maintenance and can be pruned to maintain its compact form. Its adaptability to various soil types, including moist or wet soils, makes it a versatile and resilient shrub, enhancing the aesthetics of different garden landscapes.
