Ilex vomitoria ‘Pendula’

Weeping yaupon hollies make interesting, easy to grow specimen plants in the landscape.  The pendulous branches provide year around structural interest and the small bright red berries put on a show in fall and winter.  Grow in average, medium to wet soils in full sun to part shade. In its native habitat, it grows in dry to wet conditions, in a variety of soils and in sun or shade. It generally tolerates more drought than most other hollies. Prune in winter if needed. Plants of this species are dioecious (separate male and female plants). Female plants need a male pollinator in the area in order to bear fruit. Promptly remove root suckers unless naturalization is desired (Courtesy of Missouri Botanical Garden Plant Finder)
