Ilex Aquifolium Bare Roots

Product Description

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. Available in packs of 25 or 50 bare roots & grows 10-15cm per year. Wildlife Friendly Slow Growing/ Low Maintenance Bare Root hedging plants are a great, cost-effective way for you to achieve your hedging goals. They are grown in an open environment, exposed to natural conditions, which allows these plants to develop with no restrictions. When opting for this root type, you will receive well established plants with sturdy root systems as a result of their growing method. Given the way in which they are grown, bare rooted plants are available from November until May as this is the time of year when the plants are dormant & can be safely lifted from the field. This category mostly consists of native, deciduous hedging species which many of them flower and/or berry so they make great hedges for wildlife & provide seasonal interest.
