Ilex ‘Washington’ Description

Ilex ‘Washington’ is an evergreen holly cultivar grown for dense foliage, year-round structure and ornamental winter interest. Plants sold under this name typically form an upright shrub or small tree with glossy green leaves and may produce red berries when female flowers are successfully pollinated. Mature size can vary with stock and training, so allow room for a substantial holly rather than treating it as a dwarf shrub. Grow in full sun or partial shade in fertile soil that remains moisture-retentive but drains freely. Hollies tolerate clipping and can be used for screening or informal hedging. Where berries are important, planting a compatible male holly nearby can improve fruit set. Prune in late summer or during winter only as needed to maintain shape.
