Holly, Inkberry ‘Gem Box’
Description
A cool new dwarf, broadleaf evergreen that looks more like a boxwood than an inkberry. A dense, ball-shaped plant with small, dainty, dark green leaves and attractive red tips during the spring flush. It maintains good branching right to the ground so it never looks bare-legged like other cultivars may.
