Liberty Holly

About this plant

Ilex x 'Conty' Liberty™ Holly is a hybrid holly cultivar known for its vigorous growth, dense evergreen foliage, and abundant bright red berries that provide striking winter interest and essential food for wildlife. Developed as a hardy, adaptable landscape plant, 'Liberty' Holly combines the best traits of its parent species, including excellent disease resistance and tolerance to a variety of soil types and environmental conditions, making it a popular choice for hedges, screens, or specimen plantings. This holly features glossy, dark green leaves with spiny edges that persist year-round, adding texture and structure to gardens across USDA zones 6 through 9. Historically, the 'Liberty' cultivar was introduced to offer a reliable, low-maintenance alternative to traditional hollies, and it has since become a staple in ornamental horticulture for both residential and commercial landscapes
