Ilex m. 'Blue Princess'

Ilex m. 'Blue Princess' is a stunning evergreen shrub known for its attractive foliage and vibrant berries. This variety of holly features glossy, dark green leaves with a classic spiny margin, providing a striking visual texture throughout the year.

One of the standout characteristics of the Blue Princess is its ability to produce an abundance of bright red berries in the fall and winter months, which not only enhance its ornamental appeal but also attract birds and beneficial wildlife to your garden. The berries develop best when a male pollinator, such as Ilex m. 'Blue Prince', is nearby.

This shrub typically reaches a height of 4 to 6 feet and can spread 3 to 4 feet wide, making it a versatile choice for borders, hedges, or as a standalone specimen. Its compact growth habit allows for easy maintenance, while its drought tolerance once established makes it suitable for a variety of landscapes.

Ilex m. 'Blue Princess' thrives in well-drained soil and prefers full sun to partial shade, making it adaptable to different garden conditions. With its year-round interest and low maintenance requirements, this holly variety is an excellent addition to any landscape design.
