Ilex

Ilex aquifolium, better known as holly, with its glossy, dark green leaves and characteristic red berries, is a symbol of both the festive winter and the enduring power of nature. All year round, this is a natural touch of green in your garden. In spring, it bears delicate white flowers. The bright red berries serve as food for birds during the colder months.

The berries are an important food source for birds during winter.
Holly lends itself well to pruning

A distinctive feature of Ilex is its prickly leaves. These sharp points serve as protection from grazers and help ward off animals that want to eat the plant.
