A large, slow-growing evergreen with broad, spiky leaves beautifully edged in silvery white.
New foliage emerges with a lovely purple-pink hue before maturing to deep green.
Produces abundant, vibrant red berries in autumn and winter.
Small, delicate white flowers bloom from May to June.
An ideal specimen tree that also thrives in coastal and urban gardens due to its resistance to pollution and salt air.
Responds well to pruning and can be grown as a formal hedge.
Cuttings are perfect for Christmas decorations and festive floral arrangements.
Winner of the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit.

Species: Holly
Flowers: Small white flowers from May to June
Position: Full sun to partial shade
Soil: Any fertile, well-draining soil
Hardiness: H6 - hardy in all of UK and northern Europe (-20 to -15)
Habit: A naturally well shaped tree with a bushy crown
Eventual Spread: Spreads 4-8m unless pruned
Growth Rate: Slow growing
Pest & Disease Resistance: Hollies are usually unbothered by pests and diseases, but young plants can occasionally be affected by scale insects, holly leaf miner or aphids.

Watering: Water in thoroughly when planting. Container grown trees need more watering until their roots are established. Water every other day for the first few months, then reduce to twice a week until autumn. In the second year and beyond, water only when required during dry spells. Always give a good soaking rather than little and often.
Soil: Thrives in any well-drained soil. If your soil is particularly clay-heavy, improve drainage by adding organic matter such as garden compost and some perlite or gravel.
Spacing: Plant 4m apart to allow for spreading.
Pruning: Freestanding holly trees need very little pruning; just trim out diseased or misplaced branches in spring. Trim plants grown as hedges in late summer. After pruning, apply a generous 5-7cm mulch of well-rotted compost or manure around the base.
Berries: To ensure a good crop of berries, a male holly plant must be growing nearby (within a mile).
Feeding: No feeding needed.
