Ilex ‘Golden King’ is a magnificent variegated evergreen Holly, supplied as an XL approximately 4ft tall established plant in a substantial 5 litre pot. At this impressive size, these are strong, well-developed nursery-grown plants, making them an excellent choice for instant gardening, providing immediate height, structure and year-round colour from the moment they are planted.
‘Golden King’ is particularly prized for its handsome glossy green evergreen leaves edged with rich golden-yellow, creating a bright variegated display throughout the year. 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.
At approximately 4ft tall and established in a generous 5 litre pot, this is a substantial Holly offering considerably more immediate impact than smaller young plants. Its dense evergreen foliage makes it ideal for feature planting, mixed borders, informal screening, evergreen structure and traditional garden schemes.
