The Needlepoint Holly is a popular evergreen shrub valued for its attractive foliage, ease of care, and adaptability. Unlike most hollies with spiky leaves, the Needlepoint Holly boasts smooth, glossy green leaves with just a single spine at the tip. In addition to its attractive foliage, the Needlepoint Holly produces clusters of small white flowers in the spring that develop into bright red berries in the fall. These berries persist throughout winter, adding a pop of color to the cold-weather landscape. This holly’s fast growth rate and dense branching make it a good choice for hedges and privacy screens. It can also be used as a foundation planting or a specimen shrub.
