Hollies
Hollies are a classic
symbol of the winter season -- dark and handsome in the landscape and
cheerful and long-lasting as cut branches in a vase. Experts
count more than 400 species of hollies around the world, native to every
continent except Antarctica; there are 20 to 30 native North American
species. Most gardeners think of evergreen hollies first, but
deciduous hollies, which hold their bright berries on bare branches
through the winter, are important and under-appreciated members of the
genus Ilex. If you choose carefully and
plant properly, hollies are undemanding plants that will distinguish
your garden for generations.
