Dwarf Burford Holly

Dwarf Burford Holly is a compact evergreen shrub prized for its rich green, glossy leaves and dense, rounded habit. This low-maintenance holly produces small white spring flowers followed by bright red berries that persist into winter.

Its spiny foliage makes it a great natural barrier, while its compact size suits foundation plantings, hedges, or specimen shrub use. Thrives in sun or partial shade and resists drought once established.
