Ilex Vomitoria 'Bordeaux' is a moderate growing shrub that can be grown in USDA Plant Hardiness Zones 7A through 10B. It matures to an average height of 3 feet to 4 feet and an average width of 4 feet to 6 feet, depending on climate and other environmental factors. It prefers growing in a location that provides full sun, morning sun with afternoon shade or morning shade with afternoon sun and grows best when planted in loam or clay soil that is well drained or moderately drained. The foliage is grey / silver in color. It attracts visual attention and is resistant to deer, drought, insects, diseases and heat.
Bordeaux Dwarf Yaupon Holly can be useful in the landscape along woodland borders, in mass plantings, in foundation plantings, in containers or planters, in shrub borders, around decks, swimming pools, and other outdoor living areas, in landscape beds or islands, to accentuate entryways, in small groupings or as a hedge and also in theme gardens.
Noteworthy Characteristics
Bordeaux is unique among yaupon hollies in that it produces colorful deep burgundy new growth throughout the warm season, which then matures to grey-green. It is an exceptionally tough evergreen shrub, being drought and heat tolerant but, as with all yaupon holly, it will tolerate damp soils better than many other species of holly.
Uses
It's naturally dense and mounding habit to about 4 feet in height with an equal spread, and the fact that it responds very well to shearing, makes the Bordeaux Yaupon one of the best evergreen shrubs for use in foundation plantings. The shrub can be kept to about half its mature size with regular pruning or shearing. It can also be useful as an underplanting for mid-size trees such as Crape Myrtle and Japanese Maples, or as a low-growing natural to formal hedge.
