    Ilex Aquifolium 1.2-1.5m - English Holly

    Product Details

    Ilex Aquifolium (English Holly) 1.2-1.5m is a premium-sized evergreen hedging plant renowned for its glossy, dark green spiny leaves and vibrant red berries in winter. This native British species creates a dense, impenetrable hedge that provides year-round privacy and security whilst adding traditional charm to any garden.

    Key Features

    • Dense, evergreen foliage with distinctive spiny leaves
    • Bright red berries from autumn through winter (on female plants)
    • Excellent for formal hedging and topiary
    • Highly tolerant of shade and exposed positions
    • Slow to moderate growth rate: 20-40cm per year
    • Supplied at 1.2-1.5m height - instant impact
    • Ultimate height: 4-8m if left untrimmed

    Planting & Care

    English Holly thrives in most soil types and positions, from full sun to deep shade. Plant 3-4 plants per metre for hedging. Trim once a year in late summer to maintain shape. Extremely hardy and low-maintenance once established, making it ideal for wildlife-friendly gardens - the berries provide vital winter food for birds.

    Perfect for creating traditional British hedges, boundary screening, or specimen planting in formal gardens. This 1.2-1.5m size provides immediate structure and privacy.

    Planting Tips

    💧 Watering – Essential for Success

    Consistent watering is vital from day one. Ambient rainfall is rarely sufficient, especially in the first season after planting. Water deeply and regularly to help roots establish — this is the main condition of our plant guarantee. Plants that are allowed to dry out may fail to establish and will not be covered under warranty.

    Rootballed Plants

    Handle rootballed plants with care and do not remove the hessian sacking, netting, or metal wire around the rootball. These materials are designed to hold the root system together during planting and will naturally break down in the soil. Simply place the rootball in the prepared planting hole, making sure it sits at the same depth it was previously growing. Backfill with soil, firm in gently, and water thoroughly.

    Potted Plants

    Remove the plant carefully from its pot and lightly tease out any circling roots before planting. Place it in a hole slightly larger than the pot, ensuring the top of the rootball is level with the surrounding soil. Backfill, firm in gently, and water generously.

    Trees & Tall Plants

    When planting trees or taller plants, always provide a strong stake or support for at least the first growing season. This helps the roots establish firmly and prevents wind damage. Position the stake on the windward side and secure the stem loosely with a soft tie, allowing for slight movement.
