Ilex meserveae ‘Heckenstar’

Robust, upright, and evergreen, Ilex meserveae ‘Heckenstar’ is a vigorous holly variety, ideal for hedging and screening. Its dense, glossy dark green leaves with softly spined edges create year-round structure, while small white flowers appear in spring.

• Aspect: Hardy across the UK; suitable for exposed and coastal gardens

• Care: Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and density
