Add year-round beauty and rare seasonal color to your landscape with Longwood Gold Holly, the 2022 Holly of the Year selection. Originally chosen at Longwood Gardens in Pennsylvania, this evergreen holly is prized for its rich dark green foliage and unusual golden-yellow berries that brighten the garden from autumn into winter.

Unlike traditional hollies that produce red fruit, Longwood Gold features clusters of vibrant golden berries contrasting against glossy evergreen leaves. The foliage remains lush and deep green year-round, providing structure, texture, and winter interest in any landscape.

Ideal for foundation plantings, specimen shrubs, wildlife gardens, mixed borders, privacy screens, and holiday décor, this holly attracts birds and pollinators throughout the seasons.

Plants are shipped established in 4 inch nursery pots and ready to thrive in your landscape.
