Plant your holly in 'Supercat cat litter' and you can't overwater!
No this is not a joke I'm serious.

You are probably over watering it unfortunately. Bedding plants around a holly in a container do not make a good mix as the frequent watering often rots the roots of the holly. I have seen this enough times over the years. Sorry, but the bedding is going to have to come out. Let the holly dry out quite well between watering and it should eventually recover.
