How to Use Royal Family Holly Combo in the Landscape

These formal plants create a beautiful screening hedge or grouping and give you effortless year-round privacy. Plant them 3 feet apart on center for a dense hedge. You'll measure from the center of one to the center of the next.

If you prefer more informal look, simply expand the space between them to 5 feet. Allow them to grow in their full, natural style.

Use an odd number of plants to create a focal point grouping in the lawn or try one on either side of your entryway. No matter where or how you use the Royal Family Holly Combo, you'll add much-needed, year-round structure to your garden design.

This is an excellent choice to use to create living walls for outdoor rooms in your garden. Create a Secret Garden or outdoor dining room using these dense, ornamental evergreens for screening.

Use them strategically to direct traffic as a beautiful barrier plant. Those spines on the leaves will easily keep people in line without shouting or making a fuss about it.

Try Royal Family Holly plants as a gorgeous evergreen backdrop on the north side of a colorful mixed shrub border or perennial border. These special plants are great as an anchor plant on a corner of a house or garage and will work beautifully around the patio. They look wonderful planted on the edge of a woodland where they will get plenty of sunlight.

For an easy, elegant display, plant white Hydrangeas on the sunny side in front of a long row of Royal Family Holly Combo. You'll really set off the light-colored Hydrangea blooms against that dark, blue-green backdrop.

#ProPlantTips for Care

Blue Hollies love moist, well-drained soil. Plant in full sun or partial shade and give your plants a moderate amount of regular water. It's best to water the soil, not the foliage. Provide a layer of mulch over the root system to keep the soil cool and moist.

If you suspect poor drainage, mound up additional soil to 18 - 24 above grade and plant directly in that mound. You can also plant in a raised bed to improve the drainage.

Wearing gloves to protect your hands, lightly prune your plants in fall by cutting long branches for your pots and urns for winter decoration. You will love enjoying the beautiful foliage and berries.

Reach down beneath the canopy and trim a long branch with bright red berries on it. Aim to select branches that are crossing. Your goals are three-fold: 1. gather the berries 2. increase air circulation into the interior of the shrub and 3. increase sunlight penetration into the center of your shrub.

If the plants need more pruning for shape or size control, it can be done in late winter or early spring before new growth begins. For the most attractive result, please stagger the depth of your pruning cuts, and do not use electric trimmers. It's worth the time to hand prune these beautiful plants.
