‘Squeeze Box’ is a distinctive inkberry holly selection with an unusually narrow, upright habit that makes it useful where a traditional broad shrub would take up too much space. Its evergreen foliage provides structure throughout the year, while the dense branching creates a clean vertical form in the landscape. Inkberry is a native holly and is particularly useful in naturalized plantings, foundation beds, rain gardens, and mixed shrub borders. Female plants can produce dark berries when pollinated by a compatible male. It prefers acidic soil and performs best when the root zone does not become excessively dry.
Height: Approximately 3–5 ft
Width: Approximately 1–2 ft
Flower time: May–June
Sun/Shade: Full sun to part shade
Deer resistant
