Hollies
Hollies are a popular addition to landscapes, and some of them are native plants. One of the most common hollies--the Yaupon holly is native as is the Savannah and American hollies. One often overlooked member of this family is the deciduous holly--Ilex decidua and Ilex verticillata. Commonly called possum haw or winterberry, these plants have a profusion of berries in the winter, which really stand out once the leaves are shed. Some outstanding selections include ‘Council Fire’, ‘Warren’s Red’, ‘Sunset’ and ‘Winter Red’.
