Overview
Foster Holly is a broadleaf evergreen shrub native to the southeastern United States. It is a small shrub, typically growing only 3 to 6 feet tall, and it produces glossy, spiny, dark green leaves. In the spring and summer, white flowers bloom and in the fall, small, bright red berries ripen to attract songbirds. Foster Holly is a hardy, low-maintenance shrub that can thrive in a variety of conditions, making it an ideal choice for most landscapes. It will tolerate partial shade or full sun and can be trained as a single-stem specimen or into a shrub border. With its season-spanning beauty, Foster Holly is a perfect choice for any garden.
