Ilex cornuta, commonly known as the Chinese Holly, is a slow-growing, evergreen shrub that carries glossy, green foliage with prominent short spines. Small, white, mildly fragrant flowers are produced in spring and result in distinctive, large red berries as it grows to 2 m tall and the same wide. The relatively fine texture of this Ilex cornuta sets it apart from other landscape plants making it ideal for mixed plantings, for providing winter colour, as a hedge or screen, using to contrast with other foliage types, or for use as a backdrop to smaller plants.
