Schelling Holly

Schelling Holly is a compact, mounded evergreen shrub with dense, fine-textured foliage and a naturally rounded shape. A dwarf cultivar of Yaupon Holly, it stays low and neat without much pruning, making it a popular choice for borders, low hedges, foundation plantings, and mass plantings. 

Its small glossy green leaves provide year round structure, and its tidy habit makes it ideal for formal and low maintenance landscapes. Schelling Holly is heat and drought tolerant, deer resistant, and thrives in a wide range of soil conditions.
