Growing & Maintenance Tips for Ilex glabra 'Shamrock'

Inkberry grow best in a slightly acidic, slightly moist, well-drained soil, in full sun to partial shade. 'Compacta' makes an excellent evergreen hedge, as it prunes well. Will tolerate a wet soil and one male inkberry plant will effectively pollinate up to six female plants.
