Ilex Blue Princess is a cultivar of the American holly (Ilex opaca) and is prized for its bright red berries, which appear in the fall and winter. To ensure a good berry set, it is important to have a male holly, such as Ilex Blue Prince, nearby as a pollinizer.
This holly variety typically grows to a height of 8 feet and a width of 6 to 8 feet. It prefers full to part sun and is adaptable to a wide range of soils, although it does best in well-drained soil.
Ilex Blue Princess is a low-maintenance plant that requires little pruning, although it can be pruned to maintain its shape or to remove any damaged or diseased branches. It is also relatively resistant to pests and diseases.
Overall, Ilex Blue Princess is an excellent choice for gardeners looking for an attractive, low-maintenance evergreen shrub that produces bright red berries in the fall and winter. Just remember to plant a male holly nearby for pollination in order to ensure a good crop of berries.
