Dwarf Yaupon Holly is an evergreen shrub that is widely used as a dependable alternative to classic boxwoods. It grows into a tight, naturally rounded mound of tiny, glossy dark green leaves on fine gray branches. It is highly valued because it handles brutal southern heat, poor soils, and heavy pruning effortlessly. It is a fantastic choice for framing a front foundation bed, planting low hedges along walkways, or shearing into neat, formal globes.
