Blue Prince™ Meserve Holly (ILEX X MES. BLUE PRINCE) - 3 gallon 15"

Every thriving, berry-producing holly needs a strong partner, and the Blue Prince™ Meserve Holly is the essential companion for your winter garden. While it does not produce berries itself, this handsome male pollinator is the absolute secret behind the heavy, brilliant red berry sets on your female varieties like Blue Princess or Blue Maid. Beyond its crucial role in pollination, the Blue Prince stands magnificently on its own with striking, dark blue-green foliage that maintains its rich color year-round. Plus, its dense, spiny leaves make it highly resistant to browsing deer and javelina, ensuring your mountain landscape stays lush and untouched throughout the seasons.

Growing vigorously to a mature size of 8 to 12 feet tall and wide, this robust evergreen forms a spectacular natural hedge, windbreak, or anchor for your foundation plantings. For the healthiest growth, plant your Blue Prince where it receives full morning sun and a touch of dappled shade during our hot afternoon hours. When planting, dig the hole twice as wide as the root ball and blend your native dirt with Watters Premium Mulch to give the roots excellent drainage and the organic foundation they crave. A seasonal feeding with Watters All Purpose 7-4-4 Plant Food will keep that foliage dense and vibrant, giving your female hollies the perfect partner for years to come.
