Bring spectacular year-round colour and classic evergreen structure to your garden with this fantastic great value pack of 3 large Ilex ‘Golden King’ Variegated Holly Trees, supplied as strong, established plants approximately 2–3ft tall, each grown in its own individual 3 litre pot by Direct Plants. Carefully grown and selected at our award-winning family nursery in Norfolk, these premium Holly plants are prized for their beautiful golden-variegated foliage, dense evergreen growth, excellent hardiness, and outstanding year-round ornamental appeal.
Ilex ‘Golden King’ is one of the most attractive variegated Hollies available, producing glossy green leaves beautifully edged and splashed with bright golden-yellow margins. The colourful foliage remains on the plants throughout the year, bringing permanent structure and brightness to the garden even during the darkest winter months.
Despite its name, ‘Golden King’ is a female Holly variety and can produce attractive red berries when successfully pollinated by a suitable male Holly growing nearby. The combination of colourful evergreen foliage and potential autumn and winter berries makes this an excellent multi-season garden plant.
This great value pack contains 3 individual LARGE 2–3ft plants, giving you an impressive amount of established evergreen growth for the price. Plant them together to create a colourful evergreen screen or informal hedge, or position them separately throughout the garden as striking feature plants.
Supplied as three strong, healthy, established plants, each grown in its own generous 3 litre pot, this collection provides excellent immediate garden impact and many years of dependable performance.
