Ilex x attenuata 'Savannah' is a versatile evergreen shrub thriving in USDA zones 7-9, reaching 15-25 feet in height with a 10-15 foot spread. This southeastern native displays a striking pyramidal form with glossy, dark green foliage year-round. Spring brings delicate white flowers that mature into vibrant red berries persisting through winter, providing valuable food sources for wildlife. Exceptionally drought-tolerant once established, it performs well in full sun to partial shade conditions. Its dense branching structure makes it particularly effective for privacy screens, formal hedges, and specimen plantings in landscape designs.
