Description
Blue Maid Meserve Holly is one of the hardiest evergreen hollies, making it a reliable choice for Massachusetts gardens. Its spiny, deep green foliage creates a striking contrast against bright red berries that persist through winter. This pyramidal shrub requires a male pollinator, such as Blue Stallion, to ensure an abundant berry display.
With its dense and refined form, Blue Maid Meserve Holly is ideal for privacy screens, foundation plantings, or as a stand-alone accent. Its evergreen foliage remains vibrant even in the coldest months, providing year-round beauty. This versatile shrub pairs well with other landscape plants to create a balanced and visually appealing garden.
Each plant comes in a #5 (5 gallon) growers container. The image shown represents an example of what you may receive. Please note that the height, shape, and fullness of each plant may vary due to natural growth patterns. Rest assured, we will select the healthiest and most vibrant plant for you.
