Holly: Blue Princess

3 Gallon

Its leaves are glossy, dark green with a bluish cast and moderately spiny. The inconspicuous flowers bloom in the spring and are followed by bright red berries that remain on the shrub into winter. The best time for planting is in the early fall, though spring planting can also work in colder regions. Warm climates benefit from fall planting, so the roots have time to develop before the summer heat arrives. This plant has berries that are mildly toxic to humans and pet.

This shrub needs full to partial sun to survive. It can grow up to 10'-15' tall. Soil needs to be kept moist but well drained.
