Ilex vomitoria 'Nana' (dwarf yaupon holly)

'Nana' is a compact cultivar of the broadleafed evergreen yaupon holly shrub, growing to only 3–5' tall and slightly wider. With glossy green leaves and sparse red berries in the fall and winter seasons, this makes a great border, screen, or accent feature in the garden.  Avoid using as a foundation plant since this plant is more flammable than most. Full sun or part shade is needed, along with soils that drain well. Songbirds and pollen specialist bees particularly like this species.
