Description

(Inkberry Holly) Do you love the look of Boxwood but have trouble growing them? Gem Box®, an Inkberry Holly, is the perfect alternative. Standing 2-3 feet tall and wide, this compact broad leaf evergreen forms a dense ball shaped mound. Gem Box® Inkberry Holly has dainty, dark green evergreen foliage that will show burgundy colors on the new growth. It displays great all-around branching, so the foliage appears completely from the ground up. Consider using Gem Box® as a border, small hedge, in mass, or in container design use. In full sun to part shade locations with moist acidic soil is where Gem Box® grows best. This deer resistant shrub is a Proven Winners® ColorChoice® Flowering Shrub.
