ILEX MES BLUE MAID
Grower Notes:
Ilex meserveae 'Blue Maid' is commonly referred to as Blue Maid Holly. This is a very hardy, traditional evergreen holly with a broadly pyramidal habit. It features spiny blue-green foliage and dark purple stems. Small, white flowers give way to abundant crimson red fruit which persists through winter. This is a female cultivar that requires a male pollinator, such as Ilex 'Blue Prince', for prolific berry production.
Blue Maid Meserve Holly thrives in full sun to partial shade. It enjoys rich, acidic, evenly moist, well-drained soils. It will not tolerate standing water and is subject to chlorosis in alkaline soils.
