Festive Red Holly is a vigorous pyramidal evergreen shrub with distinct glossy toothed leaves that emerge bright green and darken with maturity. Festive Red is a self-pollinating variety, with its inconspicuous flowers giving way to abundant reddish-orange fruit that can persist well into winter. Best planted in moist, slightly acidic well-drained soils.
