Castle Rouge® Blue Holly

Castle Rouge is a standout male blue holly featuring a compact, upright growth habit and exceptional multi-season interest. Its glossy evergreen foliage emerges in a vibrant red-burgundy shade before maturing to dark blue-green. In winter, the entire plant transforms into a dramatic deep burgundy. As a male pollinator, it is essential for berry production on female blue hollies while serving as a handsome specimen or hedge. It thrives in moist, acidic soils and tolerates full sun to part shade.
