Ilex Aquifolium̴Ì?is well-known for its classically prickly, glossy, deep-green leaves, and bright red berries that make an attractive trait to the bush during Winter.
We've dedicated time and care into growing your pot grown plant, so it arrives looking stunningly new and healthy.
Ilex aquifolium can look brilliant all year round with its welcomed shades of colour, its winter coverage during the much colder months, and even some small white flowers that appear in the Spring. Due to its evergreen attribute, native birds also see it as a shelter during the winter- and the red berries are perfect for them to feed on- meaning you can even encourage some wildlife interest to your garden with the English Holly.
The dense and prickly leaves on English Holly are ideal where a privacy screen, security barrier, or windbreaker is needed, and its even effectively pollution-resistant.̴Ì?
English Holly is a much slower-growing hedge, with a growth rate around 10-15cm per year. It is best if you plant your Holly in full or partial shade and in moist soil. It is also suitable for both exposed and seaside sites/gardens.
As it is pot grown, you can easily leave the plant in its pot for a few days/weeks before planting it. Just ensure you keep the plant well-watered, and it gets enough sun. Don't leave it for too long, however, as you don't want the roots becoming root bound.
Your Ilex aquifolium is likely to need very little pruning (or none)- except from needing to remove any dead, damaged or diseased shoots (or any cross shoots causing possible congestion). The best time to do your pruning is during the late winter or early spring, when the plant is dormant.
Though you only need a little bit of annual pruning, your English Holly can tolerate extreme pruning if it does get too large or overgrown- but make sure to do so during the dormant period (winter months).

Field grown, bare roots are young plants that are only planted when they are dormant, from autumn to spring. We lift bare root plants and despatch them during the season but they can be pre-ordered in summer. As they are cheaper to grow, they are one of our most affordable hedge planting options.
Pot grown plants can be planted year round and make a convenient option. They come in a wide range of sizes, from 10cm to 2.5m so they're suitable for the majority of planting requirements.
Also field grown, root ball plants are scooped out of the ground using machinery to keep their root system intact and wrapped in bio-degradable, hessian sacks. They are mature plants that provide dense coverage very early on, ideal for when you need a thick hedge quickly.
Grown in troughs or bags that measure 50cm-1 metre in length and carefully clipped during the growing season. Our instant hegding troughs create a dramatic, instant hedge effect.
Our bare root discount deals include bundles of 50, 100, and 250 plants. The bigger the bundle, the higher the discount.
