I have Holly in back area, and they look nice. They only get afternoon sun, but really flourish. (I've trimmed them numerous times since I've had them in past 2 years) They are about 5 ft tall.Their rich green color, beats Lugustrom green color, BUT I think Lugustrom grows faster. I also have a holly bush in yard, that gets sun all day, and doesn't grow as fast. I suggest you match the two greens together to make your choice. Oh, and also, I got red berries in fall on Holly. I assume you were talk'n bushes, because I REALLY love my Crepe Myrtle trees, even though they lose leaves in winter months.
