Leaves of this chinese holly with their 3 lobes look like sugar coated, they are very glossy. The flowers will produce a load of bright red berries which will bring the ideal Christmas feeling in the winter. It prefers moist, acidic soil but is quite adaptable. Once established, it tolerates summer heat and drought. This variety is more tender and needs a place hidden from winter and early spring morning sunlight.
