Blue Princess Holly - Ilex meserveae - Broadleaf Evergreen - 4" Pot

Easily grown in average, medium moisture soil in full sun to part shade. Adaptable to both light and heavy soils, but prefers moist, acidic, organic soils with good drainage. Meserve hybrids are dioecious shrubs: BLUE PRINCESS is a female plant and BLUE PRINCE is a companion male plant. Plant mostly BLUE PRINCESS because only females produce the attractive red berries which are so conspicuous in fall and winter. A planting needs at least one BLUE PRINCE or other male pollinator such as BLUE STALLION within 400' as a pollinator for up to 9-10 BLUE PRINCESS plants. Prune to shape in early spring just before new growth begins. Good winter hardiness. Hardy Zones 4-7 Mature Height: 5-7' Measurements are approximate
