Blue Prince & Princess

Every Princess needs her Prince, especially if you are a holly bush which needs a male pollinator to produce berries. Rather than having to buy two plants, we have combined the Prince and Princess together in one pot, to grow as a single bush, so that you can have beautiful red berries for the festive season, without the need to grow two plants. Not only that, but these hollies are much more winter hardy than common holly, so they will grow in colder areas, throughout zone 4. Now almost everyone in the country can harvest their own festive holly branches, laden with berries, even from the smallest garden.

• Produces a heavy crop of red winter berries
• Hardy to minus 30 degrees
• Lovely dark-green evergreen foliage
• Combination of male and female to ensure a bumper crop
• Grows in sun or shade in any soil

The Blue Prince and Princess Holly Bush will grow in full sun or partial shade, in any garden soil. They will thrive in damp areas, but once established they are resistant to regular summer dryness too. They have no significant pests and diseases, are not eaten by deer, and are easy to grow, needing no special care at all. They can be left to grow into a bush about 8 feet tall and the same across, or clipped to keep them shorter as needed.
