Bullseye Japanese Holly is a tidy evergreen shrub with a naturally rounded habit and small, glossy green foliage that emerges burgundy tinted. If pollinated, the inconspicuous flowers in spring to give way to small red fruits in fall which last through winter. Best planted in moist, slightly acidic well-drained soils. Hollies are dioecious and need both male and female plants to produce fruit. Resistant to spider mites.
