Ilex aquifolium 'Alaska'
Ilex aquifolium 'Alaska' is a compact evergreen holly with glossy, dark green spiny leaves and a naturally dense habit. Small white spring flowers can be followed by bright red berries on female plants when a suitable male holly is flowering nearby, adding valuable winter colour and wildlife interest.

- Dense evergreen foliage
- Potential for bright red winter berries
- Useful for hedging, screening or as a specimen shrub
What to know
- Grow in full sun or partial shade.
- Plant in fertile, moist but well-drained soil.
