Meet 'Chilly Willy,' the hardy evergreen that brings effortless charm to any landscape. Selected by Cincinnati plantsman Kevin O'Dell for its resilience in cold winters where most other Japanese hollies struggle, 'Chilly Willy' is a standout choice for low-maintenance gardeners. Its naturally rounded form stays lush and dense without the need for pruning, offering vibrant, deep-green foliage year-round. In winter, bright red berries contrast beautifully with the dark leaves, adding a cheerful color that makes it ideal for hedges, screens, or as a striking foundation plant. Highly disease-resistant and adaptable to sun or shade, this evergreen thrives with minimal effort, making it a top pick for adding lasting beauty to your garden.
