Holly is well-known for its glossy, evergreen and sharp, prickly leaves. They carry decorative red berries on female plants: the Common Green Holly hedge plants we sell will be a random mix of roughly 50-50 male and female plants.

Holly is usually a formal hedge plant, clipped twice a year, but it is perfectly at home mixed into a native country hedge.

Holly grows in almost any fertile soil and is happy in shade, although it carries fewer berries there. 

A large Holly hedge is a magnificent wildlife habitat, providing a home to a variety of smaller birds. Because it flowers late, it is attractive to autumn butterflies and moths.

Holly berries ripen slowly through the action of the winter frosts, softening each time they freeze and thaw. This gradually releases food for wildlife throughout the winter.
