Sky Pencil Holly

Bring sleek, vertical elegance to your garden with Sky Pencil Holly, a unique, columnar evergreen prized for its narrow, upright habit and glossy, deep green foliage. Perfect for adding architectural interest to entryways, containers, or formal landscapes, this slow-growing shrub forms a tidy, pencil-thin silhouette that remains beautifully compact year-round. Its clean lines and low-maintenance nature make it a standout accent in mixed plantings or as a living screen in tight spaces. With a refined look and dependable structure, Sky Pencil adds height without bulk—ideal for modern and classic gardens alike.

Care tips:

Light: Full sun to part shade; benefits from some afternoon shade in hot climates
Water: Moderate; keep soil consistently moist but well-drained—avoid letting it fully dry out
Soil: Fertile, well-draining soil; slightly acidic and enriched with organic matter for best performance
Maintenance: Low; no shearing needed, but occasional light trimming helps maintain a crisp shape

Shipping & Delivery

Shipping live plants isn’t easy, but we put immense care into packing each plant before it journeys through the mail system. Upon arrival, we recommend removing the packing moss to help acclimate the plant to its new home right away.

Due to strict shipping restrictions, we cannot ship live plants to Alaska, California, or Hawaii. We cannot ship to PO boxes.

If something doesn’t look right when you open your package,
please let us know and we will take care of it.

Return Policy

We accept returns on all unopened, unused non-plant items within 30 days of purchase or shipment when accompanied by an original receipt or packing list.

Because live plants are subject to variable conditions once they leave our store, we’re not able to offer a guarantee or refund on plant material. For online customers, please contact us within 48 hours of delivery if you are unsatisfied with your plant purchase.
