Ilex Blue Prince - Male Holly

Ilex 'Blue Prince' is a robust and handsome evergreen holly variety, valued for its glossy, deep green to blue-green foliage that adds year-round interest. As a male holly, it does not produce berries but is essential for pollinating female varieties such as Ilex 'Blue Princess'. Its dense, bushy growth makes it ideal for creating structured hedges, privacy screens, or as a low-maintenance standalone shrub. The foliage’s slightly spiny edges give it a classic holly appearance, while its neat, compact form ensures it fits well into formal or informal garden designs.

Thriving in well-drained, moderately fertile soil and full sun to partial shade, 'Blue Prince' is hardy and tolerant of urban conditions. Prune lightly in spring to shape and maintain density. Pair with berry-producing female hollies like Ilex 'Blue Princess' to ensure an abundant berry display in winter.

Supplied in approx 2 litre containers.
