Ilex Blue Angel
Ilex ‘Blue Angel’ is a compact, evergreen holly known for its striking blue-green foliage and dense, upright growth habit. This hardy shrub produces small white flowers in spring, followed by attractive red berries in autumn when a male pollinator is nearby. Ideal for hedging, borders, or specimen planting, it adds year-round interest and structure. ‘Blue Angel’ thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained, slightly acidic soil. It is low maintenance and tolerates trimming well.
