Buy Castle Rouge™ Male Blue Holly online. Castle Rouge™ Male Blue Holly is the biggest thing to happen to Blue Hollies since Kathleen Meserve made the first crosses of Ilex aquifolium and Ilex rugosa back in the 1950s. All season long, its new growth emerges a glossy red-burgundy color for spectacular effect, and once winter comes, the whole plant turns a deep, dark burgundy. It's a male and will serve to pollinate the rest of the Castle® series, as well as other blue hollies, but unlike conventional male hollies, this one is handsome enough to stand alone in the landscape.
Family: Aquafoliaceae · Common Name: Holly / Winterberry
