This popular, versatile shrub can be planted to accent your home, either in rows for a narrow hedge, or alone as an ornamental.
However you use it, expect little maintenance.
You'll be fascinated by the Sky Pencil Holly's shape - growing skyward naturally without the need for trimming (unless you want to keep them at a desired height).
If you are looking for a sleek, updated, stylish look, use these Japanese Hollies with their tall, narrow, columnar shape.
Very few shrubs can give you this kind of height without encroaching on nearby plants.
Perfect for when you want to add height or a focal point to flower beds, groundcovers, entryways, etc.
Because of this unique shape, its possibilities are endless. No matter where you plant your Sky Pencils, their spectacular form will attract attention!
It's one of the few plants whose branches grow upward, which is why it got the name Sky Pencil.
