Ilex (Sky Pencil) Holly

Ilex (Sky Pencil) is a holly variety that has a slim upright growth habit and is a great plant for containers. In addition to containers it has many uses such as a foundation plant in annual flower beds as well as a corner accent to help soften hard building surfaces. The sky pencil is a relatively low maintenance plant that requires semi-moist well drained soils. Other than the leaf miner there is a very short list of insect pests that are attracted to them. Just keep watered and fertilized and watch it take off.
