Ilex × 'Prince/Princess'
Ilex × ‘Prince/Princess’ refers to a duo of evergreen hybrid hollies consisting of a male ‘Prince’ plant and a female ‘Princess’ plant, selected for their excellent hardiness and abundant winter fruiting. This holly is distinguished by its dark green, thick, and lustrous evergreen foliage, offering a decorative structure year-round. Its overall habit is upright, dense, and well-branched, with a silhouette that is taller than it is wide, making it ideal for evergreen hedges, visual screens, and specimen plantings. In spring, a discreet creamy white bloom appears, followed in autumn by a generous production of bright red berries on the female plants, providing significant ornamental and ecological interest during winter. Highly valued for its robustness, tolerance to pruning, and reliability in cold climates, ‘Prince/Princess’ is an excellent choice for providing lasting structure to the garden and supporting winter wildlife.
