A brilliant hedging plant forming a dense prickly barrier. Its glossy leaves are evergreen and it produces bright red of orange berries in winter, white flowers in spring that are loved by bees and butterflies. It's slow growing, so is low maintenance and lends itself well to shaping. Holds the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit for its reliable performance, stability of colour and form, and good resistance to pests and diseases. Also known as the English Holly, this is a great native plant that is a good source of winter food and protection for birds and other useful wildlife. For best results plant in full or partial shade in moist but well drained soil 60cm apart. 25-30cm plants supplied in 9cm pots.
