Acadiana™ Holly

Ilex ‘Acadiana’ ; Ilex 'Magiana'

Also known as the Red Holly, the Acadiana™ Holly is a vigorous evergreen holly with a naturally dense, pyramidal form and prized for its glossy dark green foliage and striking deep red new growth that adds seasonal color and contrast. Its upright growth habit makes it an excellent choice for privacy screens, hedges, and large specimen plantings, while heavy orange-red berries add seasonal interest and attract birds when a male pollinator is nearby.

Tough and adaptable, Acadiana Holly thrives in heat and humidity and maintains its rich color year-round with minimal maintenance. Its fast growth and full habit make it a dependable option for creating structure and evergreen privacy in the landscape.
