Ilex x attenuata 'Fosteri'
Naturehills.com carries thousands of products including the Holly - Foster's No. 2
from the Bushes and Shrubs family.
The Holly, Foster's No. 2, Ilex crenata, resembles boxwood, but its growth habit is lower and more spreading. The leaves are dark green, glossy, ovate to elliptic, with slightly scalloped edges. Foster's berries are small and black, though sometimes white or yellow. A popular landscape plant, it does well in rich, moist, slightly acidic soil with good drainage, and thick mulch. It will not tolerate drought, and while best in full sun, it will do well in medium shade. Foster Holly is an excellent plant for planting near an entry or off the corner of the house to provide vertical accent. It can be grown as a free-standing specimen or massed together. It can also be sheared into a hedge.
