About This Plant
Long a favorite during its evaluations, Castle Keep blue holly has the classic good looks of this handsome evergreen but with soft-to-the-touch deep green foliage. This blue holly adds interest to the winter landscape and provides a food source for birds. The semi-dwarf rounded habit makes it a versatile choice for landscapes, perfect for hedges, screens, or as a specimen. Castle Keep Ilex x meserveae is a female variety that will develop red fruit if a male pollinator like Castle Wall holly is planted nearby. The bright berries are a classic addition to cut flower or holiday arrangements.
