Ilex 'Lawsoniana'

Ilex 'Lawsoniana' is a prized variety of holly, celebrated for its exceptionally beautiful and colourful foliage. Each leaf has a luminous, golden-yellow splash at its centre, surrounded by a margin of rich, glossy green. A particularly welcome feature is that the leaves are almost entirely spineless, making it much more garden-friendly than other hollies. As an evergreen, it provides this vibrant display all year round, and this well-established young shrub is ready to bring immediate interest to the garden upon planting.

This versatile shrub is perfect for a variety of situations in garden design. Planted as a standalone specimen, it creates a striking focal point, while its dense, bushy habit also makes it ideal for creating a bright, impenetrable, and colourful hedge. 'Lawsoniana' is a vigorous grower that will mature into a large shrub or small tree, but it responds very well to regular pruning, allowing its size and shape to be easily managed. For the best results, plant it in a sunny or partially shaded position in moist, well-drained soil.
