#ProPlantTips for Care:
Heat and cold hardy in zones 4 through 9, Meserve Holly prefer partial sun in hot climates, while handling full sun in cooler zones. Holly needs slightly acidic soil conditions and can become chlorotic in alkaline. Also needing higher moisture, it must be well-drained soils. Requiring well-watered soil in full sun for best results. Standing up to urban pollution, they're not particular about soil type. Doing well in both sandy and clay soils, Blue Holly won't mind some salinity and are strong against the wind.
- Full Sun & Partial Shade
