Plant of the Day
Sunday 12 November 2017
At Provender Nurseries, Kent, UK, we saw some very smart standard Ilex 'Nellie R. Stevens' (holly). This vigorous evergreen has a compact habit being a hybrid between Ilex aquifolium (English holly) and Ilex cornuta (Chinese holly). The cultivar is a female holly and was covered with red berries providing food for birds and nesting habitat.
