| Common Name: |
Red Beauty Holly |
| Botanical Name: |
Ilex 'Rutzan' |
| Cultivar Name: |
Red Beauty® |
| Plant Type: |
Evergreen Tree |
| Description: |
Handsome dark glossy evergreen leaves create a densely branched pyramidal tree. For berries production, Red Beauty® needs a male pollinator; use any of the Blue male Hollies such as Ilex ‘Blue Boy’, ‘Blue Prince’, or ‘Blue Stallion’ and plant one or two within 100 ft. Remember, the males don’t have berries, a consideration when choosing their placement. Red Beauty® is best used as a specimen tree or as a well-placed accent plant. Planted in well-drained acidic soil, it performs best in sun or part-sun and grows to about 15’H x 10’W. |
