Blue Princess Holly

Ilex x meserveae 'Blue Princess' Showy, bright red berries on purple stems decorate the dense, blue-green foliage from fall to winter. Pair with a male blue holly pollenizer like Blue Prince for a bountiful berry crop. This makes an excellent hedge plant. Birds love the winter berries as a food source  Colors stand out in Winter-time landscape - Fantastic around the winter holiday season       Photos courtesy of Toms Creek Nursery in Denton, North Carolina Ornamental Characteristics Category Shrub Foliage Type Evergreen Height 8' - 10' Spread 6' - 8' Shape Upright Primary Foliage Color (Glossy) Greenish-blue Seasonal Foliage Color (Glossy) Greenish-blue Flowering Season Spring (May)  Flower Color White Berries Red (heavy producer of showy fruits) Environmental Characteristics Growth Rate Moderate Sun Preferences Sun to Partial Shade Water Preferences Average: Ensure Planting Area Provides Adequate Drainage Cold Hardiness Zone 5 - 9
