A well known British native, particularly for its red berries at Christmas; Holly is a prickly evergreen shrub which makes a fine evergreen hedge. The dark green, glossy leaves provide a lovely foil for lighter coloured shrubs & perennials & its tolerance to clipping makes it a good choice for formal hedges. Ilex aquifolium is slow growing so needs less maintenance than other shrubs & the spiny leaves are an excellent deterrent to intruders. A strong alternative to Yew, Holly can be grown as a single species hedge or included in mixed native hedges to provide all year round interest & shelter for birds & mammals.

Height: 12m (39'). Spread: 8m (26'). Supplied as  30
- 45 cm potted plants   (12
