Ilex x meserveae 'Blue Princess'
Showy, bright red berries on purple stems decorate the dense, blue-green foliage from fall to winter. Pair with a male blue holly pollenizer like Blue Prince for a bountiful berry crop. This makes an excellent hedge plant.
Birds love the winter berries as a food source
Colors stand out in Winter-time landscape - Fantastic around the winter holiday season
