The Soft Touch Holly (Ilex crenata) is a small, dense, evergreen shrub that has soft, glossy green leaves with an interesting silver mid-vein. It produces inconspicuous blooms, which eventually turn to black berries that will last all winter. This Soft Touch works well as an accent or border in the landscape, such as by a wall or fence or to separate a driveway from the rest of your yard. Is easily maintained once established, and pruning to maintain shape should occur in early spring before new growth begins to appear.
Prefers full sun to partial shade. Plant in well drained acidic soils, adaptable to most conditions, will tolerate some drought conditions.
