Nellie R. Stevens Holly (Ilex x 'Nellie R. Stevens') is a standout evergreen known for its vigorous growth, deep green foliage, and heavy berry production. Its naturally pyramidal shape and dense branching make it an excellent choice for screens, hedges, or as a bold specimen. In spring, small white flowers appear, followed by brilliant red berries in fall that persist into winter—adding color and feeding local birds. It tolerates pruning well, adapts to a wide range of soils, and performs best in full sun to partial shade. With a strong, classic look, it’s a reliable backbone plant for Southern and Midwestern gardens.
