Featured Plants:
Castle Spire
and Castle Wall Holly

 

   Castle Spire and Castle Wall hollies (Ilex x meserveae) are two new varieties of blue holly introduced by Proven Winners.  Castle Spire grows in a narrow pyramidal form and produces red berries for an attractive addition to the fall and winter landscape. The dark glossy leaves are evergreen providing season long interest, and its narrow form makes it a great plant for the corner of the house in a foundation planting, near an entrance or as a specimen plant or hedge.  Castle Wall holly grows in an upright columnar form to 5-8’ tall and 3-4’ wide. It is the male pollinator for Castle Spire holly and should be planted nearby.
   Both hollies show superior vigor and branching and grow in sun or partial shade.  They are easy to grow and maintain and are hardy in Zones 5-7 (as low as -20°).  Castle Spire grows 8-10’ tall and 4’ wide and tolerates wet soils although best growth is obtained in acid, well-drained soil. Grow both of these hollies for an attractive foundation plant, in perennial or shrub borders, or as a hardy specimen with foliage year round.

Kerfs inside the front of the box to help the new baby birds climb out.
Ventilation holes in the floor and under the eaves to help ensure proper air flow.
