Description
Dragon Lady is colorful Holly shrub aptly named for its vivid scarlet-red winter berries that contrast against dark emerald-green foliage, resembling fire-breath against green dragon scales. Berried foliage makes for excellent cut stems that can be used in a number of creative ways for live red and green holiday decorations, from handmade wreaths to festive floral arrangements. The abundance of winter berries also brings color and wildlife to a landscape during gray winter months, ensuring birds are kept fed and sustained when they need it most. The massive size and tough sharp leaves of this Holly make it a perfect choice to plant along boundaries and property lines where it can serve as a beautiful privacy screen and deterrent of movement. A symmetrically pyramidal shape is achieved with no pruning necessary. In fact, Dragon Lady will thrive in just about any location with almost no maintenance necessary as this shrub is resistant to disease, deer, insects, drought and disease while simultaneously being cold hardy down to minus 20° F. The Dragon Lady Holly lives most comfortably in USDA Cold Hardiness Zones 5-8 and reaches an equal height and width of 3 ft.
