English Holly Hedge (Ilex Aquifolium or Ilex alaska)

Online Catalogue | English Holly Hedge (Ilex Aquifolium or Ilex alaska)

English Holly (Ilex Aquifolium or Alaska)

Holly is an ideal hedging plant for many reasons. It is slow growing, so needs little maintenance, its dense form and prickly leaves are a good intruder deterrent, its berries on pollinated female plants provide food for native birds throughout the winter and it can be trimmed into a superb formal decorative hedge which provides an excellent windbreak and is also pollution resistant. Holly is also a very popular choice to include in a native mixed hedge (it is one of the few native evergreens) to provide some winter colour and protection for wildlife.

Its leaves are glossy dark green and berries can be either red or orange. It grows by approx 10-15 cm p.a. and should be trimmed in autumn (and mid summer too if you wish). It likes full or partial shade and moist (but not wet) soil and is suitable for exposed sites, seaside gardens. To prevent hungry birds eating all the berries (so that there are some left for Christmas decorations), tie netting over selected stems or cut a few stems in early/mid December and stand them in a bucket of water in a cool shed and they should stay fresh. Always make sure there's plenty of alternative bird food available before reserving Holly branches for the Christmas decorations please!

Prices shown are the price per plant. Recommended planting densities are very much a matter of choice and you can increase or reduce the density depending on your level of patience but our recommendations per metre are
- bare root - 3 is adequate, 5 is good and 7 is ideal
- cell grown - 4 in a single row or ideally 6 in a staggered row
- pot grown - as shown below (these vary by pot size)
- root balls - as shown below (these vary by height of plant)
See also our Advice section on Planting Density on the right hand side of our website.

Cell grown and pot grown plants are available to buy all year round. Bare root plants are only available from November to late March/early April. Root Ball plants are available from mid-October to mid- April.

Our website will automatically discount on all orders (other than those for discounted packs). Over £250 plus vat the discount is 5% and it increases to 12.5% on higher value orders.
