Practical Instant Hedge™ English Holly
English Holly (Ilex aquifolium) Instant Hedge, the familiar evergreen shrub, creates a dense thorny barrier and makes a great hedge. The spiky leaves of this Instant Hedge are shiny dark green on top and lighter green underneath. Small insignificant white flowers in May/June are followed on female plants by bright red berries from September to early spring, which are attractive to wildlife.
This classic evergreen hedge will thrive in most well drained soils including clay. It is happy in either sun or shade but dislikes heat and drought. One of the best hedges for a shady site along with Yew (Taxus baccata).
Although slow growing (5 – 15 cm/year) a this hedge should be trimmed once a year, preferably in August.
