Ilex glabra / INKBERRY HOLLY (FEMALE)

Ilex glabra, commonly known as Inkberry Holly (Female), is an evergreen shrub prized for its glossy, dark green foliage and its attractive, round black berries that appear in late summer and persist into winter. The plant produces small, inconspicuous white flowers in the spring, and its berries, which are a significant food source for birds, develop after pollination by male Inkberry Holly plants. Inkberry Holly thrives in moist, acidic, well-drained soils and can tolerate both full sun and partial shade, making it adaptable to a variety of garden settings. This low-maintenance shrub is ideal for hedges, borders, or naturalized areas, providing both visual interest and wildlife value throughout the year. Known for its ability to withstand wet conditions and its resilience once established, Ilex glabra (Female) is an excellent choice for gardens that need a hardy, evergreen shrub with seasonal appeal.
