Plant Overview

Ilex Meserv. Blue Princess

Ilex × meserveae 'Blue Princess'

Ilex 'Meserv. Blue Princess' is a evergreen or deciduous holly shrub. The most popular blue holly for landscapes — a dense, pyramidal evergreen with glossy blue-green foliage and an exceptionally heavy crop of brilliant red berries that persist through winter. Adaptable to a wide range of soil conditions. Most evergreen hollies prefer full sun to part shade with moist, slightly acidic, well-drained soil. An indispensable landscape plant for hedges, foundation plantings, wildlife gardens, and any situation requiring reliable evergreen structure.
