The Strongbox Inkberry Holly is a fantastic alternative to boxwood shrubs from Proven Winners. This bush is resistant to disease, pests, and winter burn. It is native to North America and very low maintenance. The evergreen leaves form a rounded shape that can be pruned into any shape. This plant also grows faster than boxwood shrubs. It also has white flowers that bloom in the summer.

These shrubs only grow 2 to 3 feet tall and wide. Perfect for small spaces and garden planters in entryways, patios and decks. Plant these in a location that gets at least 4 hours of direct sunlight per day. These are winter hardy in growing zones 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b, 7a, 7b, 8a, 8b, 9a, 9b.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty whether you’re new or an expert. There are many variables outside our control and yours that can cause the demise of your plant(s). Examples would be hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, disease, insects & many other factors. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all the unknowns and will replace your plant if it moves on to the plant afterlife.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant purchase. We will cover 100% of the price of the plant but the warranty does not cover shipping cost. Simply let us know if your plant has died within one year of receiving it and we’ll get you a new one shipped out. We may ask for photos for documentation purposes but again we’ll try to make it as easy as possible.
