Robin Holly

About this plant

Ilex 'Robin' is a magnificent evergreen known for its striking red berries and deep green, glossy foliage. This hybrid holly combines the best traits of its parents, offering exceptional vigor and disease resistance, making it an excellent choice for a low-maintenance yet impactful landscape. Its dense, pyramidal growth habit makes it ideal for screens, hedges, or as a stately specimen plant. The abundant, bright red berries, which persist through winter, provide a stunning contrast against the dark green leaves and offer a valuable food source for birds. 'Robin' Holly is a perfect choice for adding enduring structure and vibrant color to any garden throughout all seasons, especially in the dormant winter months when much of the landscape is bare.

Care & maintenance

Plant in well-drained, acidic soil. 'Robin' Holly is relatively low maintenance once established. Prune in late winter or early spring to shape and remove any dead or diseased branches. Fertilize annually in spring with a fertilizer formulated for acid-loving plants.
