Holly varieties brighten winter landscapes in Kansas soil
American holly and its cousins offer winter color with red berries or drought tolerance. American holly grows 15 to 30 feet, may reach 100 in ideal soil, and needs male and female plants for berries. Meserve hollies Blue Prince and Princess are similar alternatives, while inkberry and Japanese holly provide evergreen options with varying berry colors and growth. Jennifer Smith of K State Extension features gardening advice on The Garden Show, inviting reader questions.
