This RHS Premium Cell Grown Holly (Ilex aquifolium) plant comes with the benefits of container grown plants but the price is nearer the bare root price.
The Ilex Aquifolium is a slow growing evergreen plant, so needs little maintenance. Its dense form and prickly leaves are good intruder deterrent. It is in leaf all year, in flower from May to June, and the seeds ripen from November to March. The scented flowers are dioecious, individual flowers are either male or female, but only one sex is to be found on any plant, so both male and female plants must be grown if seed is required. The red/orange berries on pollinated female plants provide food for native bird throughout the winter.

Benefits
• RHS cell grown common holly hedging plants, under licence granted by the Royal Horticultural Society
• Overall, the benefits of potted plants with the price of bare root plants
• Extended planting season - they can be planted when you want to plant them, as long as the roots are kept moist. You are not restricted to the bare root season
• Minimal root disturbance - root systems are supplied intact, with no loss of fine feeding roots and root hairs, so once planted they can grow rapidly, not suffering the 'shock' that bare root plants will.
• Uniformity - these plants are more uniform.
NB: Cell Grown Plants are sold in bundles containing 15 plants. Unfortunately, we are unable deliver split bundles. We can offer a substantial volume discount. These plants are between 10-20cm high though the actual height may vary due to the growing season.
