Sasaba False Holly is an upright bushy evergreen shrub grown for its unique deeply divided three-prong foliage that emerges bright green and matures to a glossy extra dark green. The small but highly fragrant white flower clusters bloom in fall and are followed by olive like berries. Best planted in part sun with acidic rich and moist well-drained soils. Drought tolerant once established.
