Synonymous with Christmas and better known as Common Holly or English Holly, Ilex aquifolium are excellent outdoor plants all year round. Its spiny, glossy green leaves provide structure and foliage interest throughout the year. In spring, small, white, four-petalled flowers appear, lasting well into the summer.

Bright red berries emerge from autumn to mid-winter and remain in place throughout the colder months. It’s worth noting that berries are only produced on female holly shrubs with a male Ilex planted nearby.

Holly is a magnet for local wildlife, providing nectar, food, and shelter for bees, butterflies, insects, birds, and small mammals.

Ilex is a low maintenance garden shrub that largely takes care of itself. It prefers moist, well-draining soil and a spot in full sun or partial shade. Water during particularly dry spells and prune the plant after flowering to maintain the desired size and shape.
