Ilex glabra / INKBERRY HOLLY (MALE)

Ilex glabra, commonly known as Inkberry Holly (Male), is an evergreen shrub that is valued for its dark, glossy green foliage and ability to maintain year-round interest in the garden. Unlike its female counterpart, the male Inkberry Holly does not produce berries but serves an important role in pollination for female plants of the species. The shrub features small, inconspicuous white flowers in the spring that give way to the attractive, round, black berries on female plants, if present, in late summer or fall. Inkberry Holly thrives in a variety of soil types, particularly in moist, acidic, and well-drained soils, and it performs well in both full sun and partial shade. Known for its tolerance to wet conditions and its low-maintenance care, Ilex glabra is an excellent choice for hedges, foundation plantings, or naturalized areas.
