BLUE PRINCE HOLLY
Blue Prince Holly (Ilex × meserveae 'Blue Prince') is the essential male pollinator partner for Blue Princess and other Meserve hybrid hollies. Without a male holly nearby, female hollies won't produce their signature red berries — and Blue Prince is one of the most reliable and widely available pollinators available. Plant one Blue Prince within 50 feet of your female hollies and let nature do the rest.
Beyond its critical role as a pollinator, Blue Prince is a handsome evergreen shrub in its own right. Its glossy, dark blue-green spiny leaves hold their rich color through winter, providing year-round structure and screening in the landscape. Dense and upright, it works beautifully as a hedge, foundation planting, or mixed border anchor.
