Compact Inkberry (Ilex glabra 'Compacta') is a dense, evergreen shrub prized for its tidy, rounded shape and glossy dark green foliage. Reaching about 3 to 4 feet in height and width, it's a slower-growing, dwarf form of the native Inkberry holly, making it ideal for low hedges, foundation plantings, or rain gardens. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, acidic soils, tolerating wet conditions better than many other evergreens. Though its small white flowers are inconspicuous, it can produce black berries in fall if pollinated, attracting birds and adding subtle seasonal interest. This low-maintenance, disease-resistant shrub is often used as a boxwood alternative, especially in native or wildlife-friendly landscapes.
