Ilex glabra Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Cultivation Notes: Succeeds in most soils so long as they are not water-logged[200]. Another report says that it needs an acid soil[182]. Hardy to about -20°c[184]. Plants are very slow growing[11] and seldom exceed 1metre in height in British gardens[184]. Plants have stoloniferous roots[182]. This species is closely related to I. coriacea[182]. There are some named varieties, selected for their ornamental value[200]. Resents root disturbance, especially as the plant grows older[1, 11]. It is best to place the plants into their permanent positions as soon as possible, perhaps giving some winter protection for their first year or two[K]. Plants are very tolerant of pruning and can be cut right back into old wood if required[188]. Dioecious. Male and female plants must be grown if seed is required. A report says that some plants are monoecious. For further Ilex glabra gardening information |
