Ilex Meserveae Blue Princess 3 Gal

Blue Princess, is a hardy, upright, and bushy Holly that produces small greenish-white flowers in spring. When paired with the male, ‘Blue Prince,’ she develops red berries that can last from fall to spring. This shrub does great in mixed borders, as hedges, screens or foundations. Additionally, the glossy evergreen foliage, purple stems, and vibrant berries makes this shrub great for cut arrangements. The Blue Prince is this shrub’s male pollinator in order to get berries. Plant at least 1 male for every 3-5 females within an acre of each other.   

Attracts pollinators, tolerates air pollution.

Full Sun- part sun. Average, slightly acidic, moist, well-draining soil.  Zone 4-9. 

Though tough against the cold, the best sites for her are those protected from winter winds.
