Description
lex x meserveae 'Blue Prince,' commonly known as Blue Prince Meserve Holly, is a hardy evergreen shrub prized for its spiny blue-green foliage. The dense, multi-stemmed shrub features a refined pyramidal shape, adding structure and texture to the landscape. Though it does not produce berries, it serves as a reliable pollinator for female hollies, such as Blue Princess, ensuring their vibrant berry production. This versatile plant provides year-round color and interest, with its dark green leaves remaining fresh throughout winter.
Ideal for zones 5 to 9, Blue Prince Holly thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained, rich, evenly moist, acidic soil. It requires minimal maintenance, with pruning recommended in late winter to shape and remove any dieback. The shrub's classic appearance and functional pollinator role make it a popular choice for hedges, screens, and mixed borders.
