Castle Keep® Blue Holly is a compact, semi-dwarf evergreen shrub featuring a dense, naturally rounded habit that requires little to no pruning. Its glossy, dark green foliage is uniquely soft to the touch, providing year-round structure and texture. As a female variety, it produces a profusion of bright red berries in winter when pollinated by a male variety like Castle Wall®. Ideal for low hedges, foundation plantings, or containers, it thrives in full sun to part shade and acidic, well-drained soil.
