The Touch of Gold (Ilex) Holly, from the Southern Living Plant Collection, is a new way to bring bright color to your landscape! This Holly has small, rounded leaves that are bright golden-yellow and remain evergreen all year long. This dwarf is naturally compact, and only reaches 2 Ft. H x 4 Ft. W. this Holly is hardy from USDA Zones 6-9 and prefers full sun to part shade. Water 2-3 times per week for the first growing season. Plant in rich garden soil with good drainage for best results. Fertilize in spring with acidic plant fertilizer. This item includes two 2-Gallon touch of gold Holly shrubs (live plants) in plastic pots with soil. The pots will be wrapped in a poly bag to retain moisture and hold any soil that shakes lose in shipping. The plant will be shipped in a cardboard box that has been designed to hold the plant in place to reduce any chance of damage in transit. As soon as the plant arrives it should be unpackaged, nu-bagged, and watered. These plants ship from the gulf coast of Alabama. We recommend that customers outside of the southeastern United States order during the milder times of year (Spring/Fall) to prevent heat/cold stress during transit
