Castle Keep® Blue Holly

Castle Keep® Blue Holly is a compact, semi-dwarf female holly that delivers stunning deep green glossy foliage and a naturally rounded form that needs no shaping to look polished year-round. Chartreuse-green in spring, the leaves mature to a rich, glossy dark green that persists through winter, and when a male pollinator like Castle Rouge® or Castle Wall® is planted nearby, Castle Keep® rewards you with a brilliant display of bright red berries in fall. At 3–5 feet tall and wide, it’s perfectly sized for foundation plantings, hedges, and containers.
