- Planting & Care
- A compact evergreen holly with a classic pyramid shape, deep green leaves, and vibrant orange-red berries.
- Small white flowers appear in May, providing a beautiful contrast against the dark foliage.
- The bright berries are a valuable food source for birds in winter.
- Perfect for sunny spots in small to medium gardens, it maintains its shape with minimal pruning.
- Ideal for hedging or as a standalone specimen tree.
- Trimmings make wonderful, traditional Christmas decorations and floral arrangements.
- Recognised by the RHS as a 'Plant for Pollinators', attracting bees and butterflies.
- Please note: A male holly plant is required nearby (within a mile) for this female variety to produce berries.

- Flower Colour: Small white flowers in May
- Position: Full sun to partial shade
- Habit: A compact, naturally well-shaped tree with a bushy crown

- Soil Type: Thrives in any fertile, well-draining soil
- Growth Rate: Average to fast
- Pest & Disease: Good resistance; young plants can occasionally be affected by scale insects, holly leaf miner or aphids
- Spacing: Plant 4m apart to allow for spreading.
- Watering: Water in thoroughly when planting. Water every other day for the first few months, then reduce to twice a week until autumn. Once established, water only during dry spells. Water heavily and less frequently to encourage deep root growth.
