Ilex The Holly Hedge
21 years online - still growing strong
If you want dense evergreen foliage, year-round structure and an attractive natural boundary for the garden our holly hedging delivers. Ilex is well known for its glossy leaves and distinctive appearance, forming a strong hedge that responds well to regular trimming. Suitable for privacy, screening and boundary planting, Holly is also an excellent choice for more traditional and wildlife-friendly gardens.
Holly is a versatile hedging plant that can be maintained as a neat formal boundary or allowed to develop into a more natural-looking hedge. Its dense growth and often spiny foliage make it particularly useful where both screening and a more secure garden boundary are required.
Established Holly can also provide valuable shelter for wildlife, while female plants can produce the familiar red berries when successfully pollinated, adding further seasonal interest during autumn and winter.
For other plants that retain their foliage throughout the year, explore our evergreen hedging.
