Gallberry Holly — Ilex glabra

Buy Gallberry Holly for sale at Advanced Nursery Growers in DeFuniak Springs, Florida. Gallberry Holly, Ilex glabra, is a native evergreen shrub that works well in North Florida landscapes, pollinator gardens, wildlife plantings, wet areas, natural hedges, and low-maintenance Southern yards.

Gallberry, also called Inkberry Holly, has small glossy green leaves and a naturally upright, shrubby growth habit. It is a good choice for customers who want a tough native plant that can handle heat, humidity, sandy soils, and moist areas better than many traditional landscape shrubs.

In spring, Gallberry produces small white flowers that are very attractive to bees and other pollinators. It is also known as an important nectar plant connected to Southern gallberry honey. Female plants may produce small black berries that provide food for birds and wildlife, especially when a male plant is nearby for pollination.
