Its handsome evergreen foliage, disease resistance, and compact habit make it an excellent native alternative to boxwood. Use Gem Box Prime inkberry holly in all the ways a boxwood would be used in the landscape, like hedging, foundation planting, edging, or in containers. Note to growers: proper spacing in production ensures a full, lush plant.
