Absolutely hollies! There are a number of different species, cultivars, and growth forms. Late winter when the holly berries might be the only thing around is a lifeline to a number of bird species. And in the spring, pollinators of all kinds love the flowers.
Always looking for interesting plants for pollinators and food! Bonus points for highly, and pleasantly scented plants.
