Bloom Time Inconspicuous; prized for foliage.
Design Ideas Use this plant as a groundcover to block weeds over large areas of the garden. Neatens up edges of planters along walks, paths and lawn. Covers up unattractive open spaces between trees and larger old shrubs that have lost their lower leaves. Superior cover up for mortar, plastic and utilities around the edges of water garden. Great problem solver for rocky ground where this holly carpets spaces between rock outcroppings.
