Holly Tree Seeds - Ornamental Plant Seeds For Home Gardens

Holly Tree Seeds produce evergreen or deciduous trees and shrubs with glossy foliage, depending on the species. Many holly types develop attractive red or other brightly colored berries on female plants when a compatible male plant is present. They are suitable for hedges, specimen planting, woodland gardens, and landscape use. Plants generally perform best in well-draining, moderately fertile soil and partial shade to full sun.
