Since originally posting this message I found the following: "Scatter a handful of balanced fertilizer such as 8-8-8 or 10-10-10, referring to ratios of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, in late spring. Sprinkle the fertilizer on the mulch and water well."

Holly bushes are very easy to grow. They require almost no attention, and grow so well, with rich green color. They are acid loving plant, that likes pine needles etc. (something like azaleas need) They grow in shade and sun. Enjoy them, and let the birds eat the berries. Makes a great bush for birds to hide also. Be careful of some leaves, that have prickers on the end. Enjoy
