About Holly Shrubs

Ilex aquifolium, commonly known as English Holly, is a slow-growing evergreen tree or large shrub featuring a dense, pyramidal growth habit. Its iconic leathery, glossy dark green leaves are characterized by sharp marginal spines, though older foliage may become smoother. In spring, small white flowers bloom, followed by vibrant red berries on female plants that persist through winter. It thrives in well-drained soils and adapts well to full sun or partial shade, making it ideal for hedges.
