Growing and Maintenance Tips:


Inkberry grow best in a slightly acidic, slightly moist, well-drained soil, in full sun to partial shade. 'Squeeze Box' makes an excellent evergreen hedge as it prunes well. Will tolerate wet soil. 

Additional Notes about Squeeze Box® Inkberry Holly:


Hollies are dioecious: plants are either male or female. If berries are desired, one compatible male ilex plant will effectively pollinate up to six female plants, from up to 15 metres away.
