A Versatile Native Evergreen

 

Bring structure, beauty, and functionality to your garden with Ilex vomitoria, commonly known as Yaupon Holly. This resilient, evergreen shrub or small tree is a standout choice for both ornamental and practical purposes.

 

  • Year-Round Appeal: Glossy green leaves provide lush foliage throughout the year, while bright red berries in fall and winter add a vibrant splash of color.
  • Wildlife Haven: A vital food source for birds and pollinators, the berries sustain wildlife in colder months, and the dense foliage offers excellent nesting cover.
  • Edible Heritage: The leaves are traditionally brewed into a caffeinated tea, making it the only North American native plant used this way.
  • Adaptable Growth: Grows 6-20 feet wide, depending on pruning. Its natural form can be maintained as a shrub, hedge, or small tree.
  • Durable & Hardy: Thrives in various soil types, from sandy to clay, and tolerates full sun to partial shade. Hardy in USDA Zones 7-10, with excellent drought and salt tolerance.

 

Whether you’re creating a privacy screen, a wildlife-friendly garden, or adding an edible twist to your landscape, Ilex vomitoria delivers beauty and utility in equal measure.
