Don't Forget To Add These for Your Plants:

Lusterleaf Holly, also known as Ilex latifolia, is a type of holly plant that is native to China. It is a broadleaf evergreen shrub that is known for its glossy, dark green leaves and vibrant red berries.

Lusterleaf Holly typically grows in an upright, pyramidal shape and can reach a height of around 10 to 15 feet (3 to 4.5 meters) with a similar spread. The leaves are leathery and have a lustrous sheen, hence the name "Lusterleaf." In the fall and winter, female plants produce clusters of bright red berries that add a pop of color to the landscape.

This holly variety is often used as a specimen plant, in hedges, or as a foundation planting. It prefers well-drained soil and can tolerate full sun to partial shade. Regular pruning can help maintain its shape and promote healthy growth
