The Patriot lantanas are available from American Daylily and Perennials and licensed growers across the country. This fall Flowerwood Nursery will be releasing two new Red Holly varieties. These pyramidal hollies are similar to the red hollies previously released but offer distinct features that make them stand apart. Their cultural requirements are similar to that of the Ilex hybrid 'Nellie R. Stevens'. Ilex x Liberty is set apart by its large, serrated, deep green leaves.
Growth habit is upright and pyramidal.
This handsome holly produces reddish orange berries and can be used as a hedge, screen or pyramidal specimen. Mature size is 14 feet tall by 8 feet wide. Ilex x Patriot is a medium sized holly producing abundant red berries. Foliage is small, serrated, and dark green. Patriot pyramids well and can be used as a garden accent, hedge, or screen.
