{"product_id":"ilex-whoa-nellie","title":"Ilex Whoa Nellie","description":"When I visited Mike Dirr's UGA trial gardens in 2001, I was struck by a golden sport of Ilex 'Nellie R. Stevens'. Mike shared cuttings and later allowed us to name the plant Ilex 'Whoa Nellie' after the well-known football line of famed sportscaster, Keith Jackson. Ilex 'Whoa Nellie' makes a 12' tall x 8' wide evergreen specimen in 10 years with new growth that is bright gold, contrasted with old inner foliage which retains the dark green color. When grown near a male pollinator, Ilex 'Whoa Nellie' will produce a superb crop of bright red berries in fall and winter. We think this is a truly superb specimen plant for the garden that can also be used for a colorful evergreen hedge.","brand":"Plant Delights Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":21029481221,"sku":"9676","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1527\/8799\/products\/Ilex-Whoa-Nellie.i-9676.s-64318.r-1_db71feeb-5934-4318-a08b-bc69fb782aa6.jpg?v=1653406982","url":"https:\/\/www.plantdelights.sbs\/products\/ilex-whoa-nellie","provider":"Plant Delights Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
