YouGarden Holly Tree Ilex Meserveae 'Blue Maid' Standard Potted Tree, Supplied 80cm Tall, Instant Impact

Just imagine this lovely holly in your garden, where it can offer a new dimension on the classic patio standard tree, giving you interest all year round.'Blue Maid' is a female variety of blue holly, producing masses of tiny white flowers in spring, soon followed by bright red berries in autumn, if planted with a male holly nearby. The leaves are less spiky than other hollies and have a distinct contrast between light green undersides and deep blue-green uppersides.Easy to grow and virtually maintenance-free, this variety just needs soil conditions that are slightly acidic and fertile, with regular watering needed across the first couple of years.As the branches of this holly tend to hold onto their leaves far 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 as a specimen tree in pots and borders to heighten a display or grow a number together
