Photo of Ilex Blue Princess (Holly)

Ilex meserveae Blue Princess This hybrid holly is a broad, upright, evergreen shrub which eventually matures to 10-15' tall by 8-10' wide. Often seen growing much shorter, however. Features dark purplish stems and glossy, blue-green leaves which have spiny-toothed margins. Tiny, whitish flowers appear in spring and are relatively inconspicuous. Fertilized female flowers give way to abundant, dark red fruit which persists throughout the winter. Aquifoliaceae
