Holly

While gorgeous during the summer, holly bushes really shine during the winter months when their glossy, evergreen foliage stands out. Many also produce red berries in the fall that persist into winter. A favorite for holiday decorations, holly bushes are native to the United States.  They perform best when planted in full sun (six or more hours of direct sunlight daily) or partial shade and acidic, well-drained soil. Deer tend to avoid them. When considering the best holly bushes to buy online, make sure they will grow in your hardiness zone. Next, check their mature height and spread. Some holly varieties are considered bushes while others grow to the size of a small tree.
