    • Abstract:
      The article offers information on Ilex glabra, a native evergreen holly that is effective in creating healthy landscapes in the eastern U.S. It cites the good features of the holly including its ability to provide a good backdrop for perennials, its potential to lose lower leaves from its stems and its capacity to propagate year-round through stem or root cuttings. The importance of a thoughtful plant selection in making a healthier environment is also discussed.
