English Holly 200/225cm Root Ball (Ilex aquifolium)
PRODUCT CODE: IA-RB-200/225
Ilex Aquifolium - Common English Holly
Description
English Holly looks brilliant all year round with its welcomed shades of colour, winter coverage, and small white flowers during Spring. Due to its evergreen attribute, native birds particularly love the shelter it provides - and the red berries are the perfect source of food - meaning you can even encourage some wildlife interest to your garden!
The dense and prickly leaves are ideal where a privacy screen or security barrier is needed, too, as well as being effectively pollution-resistant and a great windbreaker.
Key Features
English Holly is a much slower-growing hedge, with a growth rate of around 10-15cm per year. We recommend planting your Holly in full or partial shade and in moist soil. It is also suitable for both exposed and seaside sites/gardens.
