Enjoy the quintessential beauty of a classic holly shrub with the Blue Prince & Princess Combo Holly. This innovative planting combines both the male 'Blue Prince' and female 'Blue Princess' varieties in a single pot, guaranteeing a spectacular display of festive red berries without needing to plant two separate bushes in your garden. It’s the perfect solution for year-round evergreen interest and winter decoration.
Key Features & Benefits
Guaranteed Berries: A male pollinator ('Blue Prince') is planted in the same container as the female berry-producer ('Blue Princess'). This ensures reliable cross-pollination and a heavy crop of bright red berries every fall and winter.
Year-Round Elegance: The foliage is a lush, deep, glossy blue-green with a subtle bluish tinge and thorny edges that remains vibrant all winter, providing structure and colour even in the snow.
Festive Winter Interest: The bright red berries are a classic symbol of the holiday season and can be used for beautiful seasonal decorations, wreaths, and centerpieces.
Wildlife Haven: The dense, spiny foliage provides essential shelter and a secure nesting habitat for birds, while the berries serve as a valuable food source during the cold winter months.
Low Maintenance & Hardy: This tough hybrid is highly resistant to common pests and diseases (including deer!) and is reliably hardy in cold climates, thriving with minimal fuss once established.
Versatile Uses: With an upright, dense growth habit (can reach 6-10 feet tall and wide), it is an excellent choice for formal or informal privacy screens, hedges, or a striking specimen plant.
