Unlike traditional hollies, the foliage is smooth rather than spiny, creating a refined, box-like appearance that is particularly well suited to clipped shapes and formal planting. Small white flowers may appear in late spring, although the foliage and architectural form are its main ornamental features.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupplied already trained into a neat pyramid, this plant provides instant structure for entrances, patios and borders.
