The Castle Spire Holly by Proven Winners ColorChoice is a large evergreen shrub that provides interest all 4 seasons. It grows up ot 10 feet tall, but only 4 feet wide. Making it ideal for privacy hedges or windbreaks. The foliage is dark green and glossy, which provides a great contrast to the red berries. The botanical name for this is Ilex x meserveae 'Hachfee'.

Be sure to plant this next to a pollinator like Castle Wall Blue Holly in order for the shrub to produce bright red berries. The berries are not edible, but are great for winter interst and birds love them. These shrubs need at least 4 hours of sunlight a day, but do better with at least 6 hours of sun. These are winter hardy in zones 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b, 7a, 7b.

    Prompt Shipping!

    I ordered 5 Castle blue hollies; they were promptly shipped. On arrival, they all look healthy, with glossy leaves. Plenty of roots in the pots. I got them in the ground the same day, and have been watering them. Hope they settle in for the Winter!
