Description
Inkberry Holly Strongbox adds a polished, modern accent to your landscape with its compact, evergreen form and glossy, dark green foliage. This refined shrub maintains a neat, mounded habit, creating a sophisticated backdrop throughout the year. In the fall, ornamental black berries emerge against the rich leaves, offering a subtle yet striking winter statement. Ideal as a focal point in mixed shrub borders or as an impressive specimen in containers, Inkberry Holly Strongbox is celebrated for its low-maintenance nature and high deer resistance.

General Care

  • Sunlight: Thrives in full sun to part sun (ideally 5–6 hours of direct light daily)
  • Soil: Prefers moist, well-drained soil; slightly acidic conditions (pH 5.5–6.5) help maintain vibrant foliage
  • Watering: Provide deep, consistent watering during the growing season to keep the soil evenly moist
  • Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch to conserve moisture and stabilize soil temperature
  • Pruning: Remove dead or unruly branches in early spring to preserve its compact shape

Transform your landscape with the enduring elegance of Inkberry Holly Strongbox—a low-maintenance, evergreen showstopper that delivers year-round visual interest and refined structure.
