Gorgeous foliage all year long. Mine are 10 years old, but do not make many blooms, therefore, not many berries. How can I encourage it to bloom? I live within 15 miles from where it was developed, in south Alabama, so it's not habitat. The foliage is so beautiful that it makes up for lack of berries.

Ilex 'Mary Nell' is a controlled cross of Ilex cornuta 'Burfordii' and Ilex pernyi 'Red Delight', crossed with Ilex latifolia

Ilex 'Mary Nell' = ( I. cornuta 'Burfordii' x I. pernyi 'Red Delight') x I. latifolia

Maybe hardy in zone 6?
