Description

A female blue holly that produces an abundance of tiny white spring flowers. Bright red berries can follow in autumn, if planted near a male holly. The leaves are less spiky than other hollies and have a distinct contrast between the light green underside and deep blue-green upper.

Because the branches tend to hold onto their leaves much better than other varieties and also as these standard plants grow less vigorously than younger plants, you get a really dense head, which is why they make such amazing topiary specimens.

Grow in a pot or border to add height or grow a number as an unusual hedge. For extra 'wow' factor, grow in pairs in large pots either side of porches or doorways and gates.

Very hardy and tough, and with excellent tolerance to British winters, 'Blue Maid' will withstand temperatures down to -27C without any damage and requires almost no maintenance each year apart from an annual trim to keep shape.

What's more, this makes a beautiful gift for a loved one, and we'll even do the gift wrapping for you! Wrapped in a brown hessian bag with a green fabric bow.

Supplied as an established standard plant, approximately 80cm tall and gift wrapped, ready to plant or gift.

Top Tips
Hollies need almost no maintenance if you keep them well-watered for the first couple of years to enable them to establish.
Care Information
  • They are more or less trouble-free, with moderately fast growth.
  • The more light that your holly receives, the more leaves it will produce, so plant it where it will get maximum light.
  • For berry productions, be sure to plant alongside, or nearby, a male species holly tree.
