Detailed Description: Dwarf Yaupon Holly is a dense, slow-growing evergreen shrub with small, fine-textured leaves. Naturally rounded, it stays neat with little or no pruning, making it ideal for low hedges, borders, and foundation plantings. Hardy to about 0–10°F, it tolerates cold better than many hollies and thrives in both sun and part shade. Extremely drought tolerant once established, it’s one of the toughest and most reliable small evergreens for Gulf Coast gardens.
