Its mounded form and refined texture is what sets it apart from the crowd. This shrub will attract birds in the winter and bees in the spring. It has a height of four feet and reaches a spread of five feet. It is the perfect ornamental shrub. It does well with mass planting and is great for ground cover. It works well for border planting or short hedges. The Dwarf Yaupon Holly will bring color to your space all year. This one can be planted as a thriller in containers.

Dwarf Yaupon Holly Care

Caring for your new shrub is simple. Plant in full sun to part shade. It will thrive best in moist soils that are well drained. It does require more acidic soils but is not picky about type. Mulching around its base in cooler climates will protect its roots through winter. Fertilizer should be applied in the spring. Pruning is not necessary but pruning to shape or maintain size is tolerated. Pruning should take place in the winter.

Dwarf Yaupon Holly Spacing

When planting as a border plant, a hedge, or near other plants, spacing should be two to three feet, center on center. When planting near structures or pavement, plant at a minimum of three feet from edges.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
