One of the best groundcovering evergreen shrubs is undoubtedly this holly which has both European origin and name. “Eurotal” is a low, dense shrub with dark green, glossy leaves similar to box. It is superb for evergreen groupings as well as a stand-alone specimen in small front gardens. Fruits are small, glossy black berries in autumn. It is usually trouble-free, it tolerates any soil and can withstand summer dry spells once established. For best results, however, use medium fertile, slightly acidic, moist but well-drained soil.
