I purchased this Holly at Home Depot in Piscataway, NJ. New leaves start off light green, then turn dark blue/green. It grows in most soils & does well as a potted plant too. During the growing season, I feed this Holly every two weeks with Miracle-Gro Miracid (30-10-10). I give it one teaspoon per gallon of water.

The tag that came on the plant says it was grown in Westbrook, CT 06498. It says the plant takes full sun, showy fall berries, and excellent accent plant.

Peoria, Illinois
