English Holly (Ilex Aquifolium) is a native plant species with very prickly, dark green leaves & gorgeous red berries. Holly is often used to give a deciduous mixed native hedge some evergreen content but it's also very popular as a classy single species hedge. Flowers December-May producing red flowers. Grows 10-15cm per year. Available in packs of 10 or 20 potted plants, supplied in 2litre or 5 litre pots. Potted Plants are a more developed plant as their root systems are not disturbed during the lifting & planting process. They can be planted year round & if necessary can be left in their pots for several weeks before planting if you are unsure as to when you will be able to get round to doing the work; all they need is a little water to keep them happy. As more mature plants you dont need quite as many per metre as the bare root plants (normally 3 to 5 would suffice depending on how dense you require your hedge & how quickly you need it to look established). Pots are a great way to create a new hedge effect more quickly.
