Description

Adding a new dimension to the classic patio standard tree, these delightful standard Hollies offer interest through the year. 'Blue Maid' is a female variety of the blue holly, with masses of tiny white spring flowers. Bright red berries can follow in autumn when planted near a male holly. The leaves are less spiky than other hollies and show a distinct contrast between the light green underside and deep blue-green upper.

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

Grow in pots or borders to add height or plant a number together as a unique hedge. For extra 'wow' factor, grow this pair in large pots either side of a porch, doorway, or gate. Very hardy and tough, and with excellent tolerance to British winter weather, 'Blue Maid' withstands temperatures down to -27C, without any damage, and requires almost no maintenance each year, saving for an annual trim to shape.

What's more, these make beautiful gifts for loved ones, and we'll even do the gift wrapping for you! Each plant arrives wrapped in a brown hessian bag with a green fabric bow.

Supplied as a pair of established standard plants, 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.
