Ilex aquifolium 'Silver Queen'
English holly (male)
Spiny, lustrous, dark green leaves with broad, creamy-white margins on dark purple stems. Contrary to expectations this slow-growing, variegated, evergreen holly is a 'male' variety that doesn't produce any berries. An attractive specimen tree for small, sunny gardens, particularly those in urban or coastal areas.
How to care for Ilex aquifolium Silver Queen:
Plants grown as free-standing specimens require minimal pruning - remove diseased or misplaced branches in spring. Trim plants grown as formal hedges in late summer. After pruning apply a generous 5-7cm (2-3in) mulch of well-rotted compost or manure around the base of the plant.
