Learn how to properly plant and care for hollies! Discover interesting cultivars of these evergreen shrubs, as well as the ideal soil conditions that will keep them looking healthy and lush year-round, with vibrant foliage that enhances the garden in every season.
To successfully plant hollies, follow these steps:
- Site selection: Hollies prefer sunny or lightly shaded locations. Make sure the site has well-drained soil.
- Soil preparation: The soil should be fertile and well-draining. You can use KRONEN® universal growing medium, which provides the necessary nutrients for healthy development.
- Planting: Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball of the holly. Place the plant in the hole, then backfill with soil, gently firming it down to eliminate air pockets.
- Watering: After planting, water the shrub thoroughly to help it establish. Maintain moderate soil moisture during the first few weeks.
- Maintenance: Regularly monitor soil moisture and fertilize the plant during the growing season to support healthy growth and vigorous foliage development.
