About This Plant
Ilex × meserveae Honey Maid (H), 'H', is valued for its garden character and seasonal interest in PNW landscapes.
Hollies (Ilex) are evergreen and deciduous shrubs and trees with glossy spiny leaves (most evergreen species) and bright red or yellow winter berries. Excellent for screening, hedges, and winter interest.
Full sun to part shade suits this species. Plant in moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil. Hardy USDA Zone 5 to 9. Most hollies are dioecious , need both male and female plants for berry production. Watch for leaf miner, scale, and chlorosis on alkaline soils. Adaptable.
For a Pacific Northwest native shrub of similar character, consider Mahonia aquifolium (Tall Oregon Grape, Oregon state flower), Philadelphus lewisii (Mock Orange), or Holodiscus discolor (Oceanspray) , all support native pollinators and birds.
