Can easily be grown indoors. One of the most familiar house plants around. Its huge star shaped leaves will decorate any patio or hallway. It also makes a good yard plant if given lots of light. Not a true holly, but a very attractive evergreen shrub with glossy, serrated leaves.
Flowers are an inflorescence of small red buds.
Will flower very soon, sometimes at a height of only 1 ft. This is one of the most valuable fall coloring shrubs. It has a definate red autumn foilage color that glows when backlit by the sun, thus making it appear to be on fire. Brilliant colored leaves and red fruit. An excellent background garden shrub.
