Dahoon Holly (Ilex cassine)

is a graceful Florida native evergreen that combines polished year-round foliage with exceptional tolerance for moist and seasonally wet landscapes. Naturally suited to pond margins, low-lying planting areas, rain gardens, and other challenging sites, it also adapts well to conventional landscape soils once established. Its ability to grow in full sun to partial shade makes it a flexible choice for residential, commercial, and civic projects.

With lustrous dark-green leaves, a naturally upright form, and bright red berries on female plants, Dahoon Holly provides dependable screening, vertical structure, and seasonal wildlife value without the scale of a large canopy tree. Use it as a specimen, informal screen, grouped planting, or accent near water where a native evergreen with refined character and wet-site resilience is needed.
