These ornamental evergreen shrubs have glossy blue-green leaves that provide year-round color, while the white blooms and bright red berries are very ornamental on the Blue Princess plants.  Holly plants can be grown as foundation plantings or a hedge. They also look right at home in woodland gardens. Females require a pollinator for berries. The pollinator plant should be planted within 400 ft. of the female plant.
