Introducing Strongbox® Inkberry Holly (Ilex glabra), a revolutionary alternative to traditional boxwood brought to you by Proven Winners ColorChoice Shrubs. This native evergreen offers the same durability and disease resistance as its counterpart, Gem Box® Inkberry Holly, but with a distinct, compact shape reminiscent of a "tuna can." Strongbox® boasts a dense, neat habit that requires minimal maintenance to uphold its tidy appearance, making it a perfect choice for adding semi-formal charm to any garden or landscape. Its versatility extends to various applications, from low hedges and specimen plants to edging along pathways. While providing a sleek and elegant aesthetic, Strongbox® Inkberry Holly also plays a vital role in supporting native plant and pollinator populations. Although it may not match boxwood in shade tolerance or deer resistance, it compensates with exceptional disease resistance and adaptability to different conditions.
