National Plant Network’s grower approved selections take the guesswork out of gardening! Ilex ‘Auburn’ Lusterleaf Holly is a striking evergreen valued for its broad glossy foliage, vibrant red fruits in clusters around the stem on female plants, and its stately height and form. It thrives in full sun to part shade in acidic well-drained soils, tolerates moderate drought once established and adds seasonal interest well into winter. Use it as a specimen or anchor plant, for screening, or mixed in shrub borders where its fruit and form can be appreciated.
