Hedging

English Holly (Ilex Aquifolium) 40-60cm, pot grown for quick garden establishment. This evergreen hedging plant delivers year-round colour, privacy, and resilience in UK gardens. Ilex aquifolium features dense, spiny foliage effective for security and windbreaks, and it is pollution-tolerant for urban plantings.

Features & Benefits

  • Size Supplied: 40-60cm in a 2L pot
  • Evergreen: Year-round leaf coverage supports privacy
  • Wildlife Friendly: Red berries feed birds; dense structure offers shelter
  • Low Maintenance: Drought- and pollution-tolerant once established
  • Security Use-Case: Spiny foliage deters intrusion

FAQs

  • Is English Holly low maintenance? Yes—minimal pruning needed after establishment, and robust to variable soils.
  • How does it attract wildlife? Berries attract birds; dense leaves provide winter refuge.
  • Will this size holly establish quickly? Pot-grown plants at 40-60cm settle faster and experience lower transplant shock than bare roots.
  • Are both sexes needed for berries? Yes—a female holly needs a male nearby for berry production.
  • Why choose potted holly? Potted holly can be planted for a longer season; establishes faster than bare root options and offers higher initial survival.

Common questions

Bare root plants are field-grown and lifted dormant — the cheapest way to plant a hedge. Pot grown plants have an established root system and can be planted year-round. Root ball plants are mature field-grown plants lifted with a soil ball for instant height.
Pot grown plants can go in the ground at any time of year. Bare root is supplied dormant from November to March, and root ball plants are lifted in that same window.
