Our latest landscaping addition is a pair of Softouch Holly (Ilex crenata) on either side of our front steps to replace the pair of azaleas of which one died. The remaining azalea is going around the corner in a shadier area.
Ilex crenata - Small, compact globe form with lustrous, dark green foliage. Mature height 2'x3'. Zone 6.
They're just the right size for the area, dark beautiful green, and will be green year round. Perfect.
There is much to be learned from past successes and mistakes in the garden that can be applied to future gardens. For this reason I am keeping a record of my gardening for my own future reference. Perhaps other Mid-Atlantic gardeners will also find my observations helpful.
