Ilex - Holly - Aquifolium "Ferox Argentea" - 50-60cm
Also know as English Holly and Christmas Holly.
Genuine hedgehog holly, with Lot's prickles on every leaf - quite possibly burglar proof!.
The shiny leaves have a creamy white edge and spines not only on the leaf margins but also on the leaf surface too.
This will create a very dense, prickly evergreen hedge, which is shade tolerant, retaining the bright variegation even in the shade.
It also looks great on its own at the back of the border or in a pot too!
