One of the most popular female hybrid holly selections, Ilex x meserveae 'Blue Princess' is a bushy, spreading, broadleaf evergreen shrub with excellent year-round interest. It produces abundant small white flowers in spring that give way to a profusion of attractive bright red berries in fall. Extremely showy, they enliven the winter landscape and persist throughout the winter. This holly variety also offers dark purple stems and glossy, dark blue-green, spiny-toothed leaves. 'Blue Princess' is a female plant and needs a male pollinator to produce the attractive red berries, such as 'Blue Prince' or 'Blue Stallion'.
