Red Sky Holly brings year-round color and handsome structure to the garden, all in a tidy, space-saving shape. Created at the University of Georgia, this upright evergreen has petite leaves that emerge with a beautiful purplish-red tint before maturing to deep green. The result is a polished, columnar holly that adds interest without taking over the landscape.
Use Red Sky Holly to frame an entryway, line a walkway, create a narrow hedge, or add height to containers and foundation plantings. Similar to Sky Pencil Holly but with a fuller, more graceful habit, Red Sky is less likely to open up or splay as it grows. Plant in full sun to part shade, then enjoy a good-looking evergreen that keeps the garden dressed up through every season.
