Ilex x koehneana ‘Wirt L. Winn’
Description
Pyramidal holly with distinctive dark foliage and large red fruit. The plant is one of the best hollies in terms of foliage quality and vigorous growth rate. This is a selection from Winn Nursery in Virginia. New growth emerges with a reddish tint. Mature leaves twist slightly along the margins for added interest. More cold hardy than many broad leaf evergreens.
