Ilex savannarum is a rare holly native to the savannas of Colombia and Venezuela, best suited to humid, partly shaded outdoor settings. It prefers consistently moist, slightly acidic soil and benefits from mulching to retain moisture. Prune lightly after flowering to maintain shape and encourage berry production.
