Shamrock Inkberry Holly Shrubs feature bright green, glossy, narrow leaves that are evergreen. Native to the Florida and Louisiana coast, this shrub thrives in wet to moist soil, which makes it perfect for landscapes near ponds, streams, and rain gardens.
Inkberry holly plants prefer partial to full sun and have a moderate growth rate. We recommend pruning this dwarf shrub in mid-spring to before the greenish-white flowers that appear in abundance during the spring and summer months. Pollinators adore the flowers and can be seen darting around the green leaves in search of the flowers.
Shamrock Inkberry holly has a naturally compact growth habit. The evergreen foliage makes it an excellent deer-resistant choice for hedges or border landscaping.
