Ilex meserveae Blue Angel - Holly

Ilex × meserveae ‘Blue Angel’ is an evergreen holly prized for its glossy, deep blue-green foliage and an abundance of red berries that provide invaluable colour through autumn and winter. The sharply toothed leaves have a rich, polished finish that looks handsome all year round, while the berries, produced on female plants when a suitable pollinator is nearby, create a classic, festive display that is both ornamental and wildlife-friendly. Naturally dense and upright in habit, ‘Blue Angel’ brings strong structure to the garden, whether grown as a specimen shrub, informal hedge, or a statement plant in a large container.

Exceptionally hardy and reliable, Ilex ‘Blue Angel’ thrives in sun or partial shade in moist, well-drained soil and copes well with cold, wind, and urban conditions. It requires minimal maintenance, with only light pruning needed in late spring to maintain shape if desired. This holly pairs beautifully with winter companions such as Skimmia, Sarcococca, and evergreen Viburnums, as well as ornamental grasses or spring bulbs that emerge beneath its canopy. Robust, elegant, and season-spanning, it is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking year-round interest with a strong winter finale.

Supplied in approx 3 litre containers.
