Castle Rouge™ Blue Holly - Ilex - 4" Pot - Proven Winners

Castle Rouge blue holly (Ilex × meserveae) is the biggest thing to happen to blue holly since Kathleen Meserve made the first crosses of Ilex aquifolium and Ilex rugosa back in the 1950s. All season long, its new growth emerges a glossy red-burgundy color for spectacular effect, and once winter comes, the whole plant turns a deep, dark burgundy. It's a male and will serve to pollinate the rest of the Castle series as well as other blue hollies, but unlike conventional male hollies, this one is handsome enough to give pride of place in the landscape.
