2 Litre Pot - Bigger Size, Better Value!
Beautiful red berries grow on sleek green leaves to increase the aesthetic appeal of female Ilex aquifolium plants; male plants produce small white flowers. It’s a firm favourite with wildlife – pollinators and birds are drawn to this variety as it offers food and shelter. Plant in full sun to partial shade for best results.

Care Notes
On arrival, unpack your new garden additions, and, if needed, give a light watering. Your plants are containerised and established, so you can get planting, as long as the ground is not waterlogged or frozen (in these situations, keep your plants in a sheltered position while you wait). For the first year, keep an eye on moisture availability, while roots settle into their new home.
For shrubs, dig a hole, allowing 2 inches either side of the pot width. Try and ensure you plant your new arrival at the same level in the ground as it had been sitting at in its pot. We recommend using a small sprinkle of rootgrow to the base of the planting hole – this will stimulate optimum root development.
