Touch of Gold™ Holly Plant Care

Plant this shrub in full sun to part shade. This Holly needs 4 to 6 hours of sunlight during the warmer months to maintain the beautiful variegation in the foliage. Water several times a week during the first year to help the plant settle in. Once established, this plant will need water when the top few inches of soil are dry. The soil should promote draining and have a slightly acidic pH.

This plant naturally has a rounded appearance and does not require pruning. Trim away any overgrowth or damaged sections in the spring as needed before new growth appears. Feed Holly in the spring using a balanced fertilizer.

Touch of Gold™ Holly Plant Spacing

Once established, the Touch of Gold™ Holly will be 2 feet tall and 4 feet wide. Create a continuous hedge by spacing plants 3 feet apart. Plant this Holly 5 feet away from buildings and other plants if you want to maintain a more open look.
