Description
Blue Princess Meserve Holly (Ilex x meserveae) is a hardy evergreen shrub admired for its elegant pyramidal shape and vibrant red berries that adorn the landscape from mid-fall to winter. The shrub’s spiny blue-green foliage remains lush and colorful year-round, creating a beautiful contrast with the clusters of bright berries. When paired with a male pollinator like Blue Prince, this holly produces an abundance of berries, making it a standout choice for traditional holiday décor and winter interest.
This dense, multi-stemmed evergreen requires minimal upkeep, thriving in a variety of garden settings. It is ideal for hedges, foundation plantings, or naturalized areas, providing structure and color to the landscape. Blue Princess Holly benefits from pruning in late winter to maintain its shape and encourage new growth. It also attracts birds, adding life and movement to your garden throughout the colder months.
