Inkberry Holly 'Gem Box®'
Ilex glabra 'SMNIGAB17'
Gem Box® is a type of inkberry holly that is widely used as a boxwood alternative. It's not prone to the same pests that attack boxwoods and has a very similar form and leaf shape.
Inkberry Holly grows best in full to part sun with moist, acidic, well-drained soil. We recommend wrapping them over the winter, especially if they are grown in exposed areas.
Seasonal Availability: Typically available May through August, depending on suppliers availability.
