Description

Common Name: Blue Holly ‘Blue Princess’

Latin Name: Ilex × meserveae ‘Blue Princess’

Description: A striking evergreen shrub with glossy, spiny leaves in deep blue-green tones. In spring, it produces small white flowers, followed by bright red berries in autumn and winter when pollinated (requires a male variety such as ‘Blue Prince’ nearby). The contrast of vivid berries against the cool-toned foliage creates a classic seasonal display.

Garden Impact: Perfect for hedging, screening, or as a feature shrub, adding year-round structure and colour. Its berries provide winter interest and are valuable for wildlife, while the dense, prickly foliage makes it an excellent security hedge.

Light & Water Requirements: Thrives in full sun to partial shade in well-drained soil; tolerant of a range of conditions once established, including exposed sites.

Size (Fully Grown): Approximately 2–3m tall and 1.5–2.5m wide, forming a dense, upright shrub.
