Low evergreen mountain holly for borders and paths
Would you like a low, evergreen hedge for a garden bed or a green edge along a path? This mountain holly is a good alternative to boxwood, which many gardeners have grown wary of in recent years. It has small, fresh green to rich green leaves and a neat, bushy shape.
