Don't Forget To Add These for Your Plants:

Maryland Dwarf Holly is a native evergreen shrub with a low-spreading habit that forms a wide mound and minimally spiny glossy dark green foliage. Abundant small, bright red berries ripen in fall and persist through winter. To ensure berry production, it's important to have a compatible male holly tree nearby, such as 'Jersey Knight'. Best planted in moist, slightly acidic well-drained soils. 

Syn. with 'Maryland Spreader'.
