The Brass Buckle Holly from Proven Winners ColorChoice is a miniature shrub with great evergreen foliage that provides color all year. These low maintenance shrubs are also salt tolerant and heat tolerant, making it perfect to plant between the sidewalk and street (the hellstrip). This is one of the smallest hollies available in the market. We also like using these in garden planters because of the year round color and interest.
These small shrubs are only 1.5 to 2 feet tall and wide. Perfect for next to walkways and paths, or by the sidewalk. Plant these in an area that gets at least 4 hours of sunlight each day, although these can handle over 8 hours of direct sunlight. These are hardy from zones 6a, 6b, 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b.
