Ilex x meserveae 'Blue Maid' (Hedging) Hedge giving a gilded effect inA dense holly with exquisitely glossy, dark green spineless leaves, hinting at a touch of blue. Bears an abundance of small white flowers in spring followed by clusters of attractive red berries which are loved by birds. This is a female cultivar so in order to produce fruit it will need a male holly nearby. Best in moist, slightly acidic, well draining soil. H7
