Holly, 'Nigra." Ilex glabra 'Nigra.' USDA zones 5-9. This is a cultivar of the native Inkberry Holly, and is nativar to all of east coast states, and west to Louisiana. 'Nigra' is a dark leaved, dense, upright evergreen shrub with leaves that grow to the ground. If pollinated, the inconspicuous female flowers give way to inky-black berries that can persist well into winter.
Ilex glabra is dioecious (separate male and female plants, needing both male and female plants to produce fruit.) 'Nigra' is a female selection, but can be pollinated by a number of other male hollies. Best planted in moist, slightly acidic well-drained soils. Grows to be 4-6' high and wide.
Dormant, bare root plant, 6-9" tall + roots.
