YouGarden Standard Holly 'Blue Maid' Gift Wrapped

Just imagine this lovely holly in your garden, where it will add a new dimension to the classic patio standard tree, offering interest through the year. 'Blue Maid' is a female variety of the blue holly, producing masses of tiny white flowers in spring. 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 -2
