Sky Pencil Holly (Ilex crenata 'Sky Pencil') is a really unusual holly that grows straight upwards, forming a pillar of foliage. It's a great way to create an accent in your garden without shading it out or crowding things together too much. As you'd expect from a holly plant, 'Sky Pencil' has the hard, super-glossy, dark green foliage that has made hollies gardening favorites around the world. A natural hybrid found growing on a mountainside in its native Japan, 'Sky Pencil' adapts well to American gardening conditions and helps to brighten up the winter with its showy foliage.
Shipping Methods
Orders will be shipped via FedEx Home Delivery.
Orders are generally in route for 2-5 business days (depending on where you live).
We are sticklers about packaging and shipping your order in a way that guarantees healthy plants upon arrival. If plants are damaged on arrival, just let us know and we'll send you new ones or offer a full refund.
All of our plants are container grown and shipped with the soil and roots fully intact. We DO NOT ship your plants bare-root. Being shipped as a containered plant greatly reduces the risk of the plant not surviving the transit to your home.
