Certified ExpertA.Companion plants for inkberry holly shrubs should complement their growth habits and environmental needs. Some suitable companions include dwarf conifers like junipers, which offer a contrasting texture and evergreen foliage. Additionally, ornamental grasses such as blue fescue can create an attractive contrast with the holly's dark green leaves. Native plants like Virginia sweetspire (Itea virginica) and oakleaf hydrangea (Hydrangea quercifolia) are also good choices, as they thrive in similar soil and light conditions, creating a harmonious garden landscape.
Here are some tips for care of the shrub:
