Standard Ilex Blue Maid
This female variety Standard Ilex meserveae, 'Blue Maid' will look fabulous no matter where you choose to put it especially when placed next to a door entrance. It produces abundance of tiny, white flowers in spring that are followed by attractive berries in autumn which is a great contrast against the dark thorny shiny evergreen foliage.
In order to produce fruit Blue Maid needs a male pollinator nearby, preferably from blue holly range such as Blue Prince and Heckenstar.
