Bold and beautifully defined, the Ilex Dark Shadow – Standard stands out for its dense, dark green foliage and perfectly rounded form. Trained on a single straight stem, it brings an elegant, architectural quality to entrances, pathways, and formal garden designs.

Its rich, almost black-green leaves hold their colour year-round, creating a dramatic contrast against lighter plantings or architectural elements. Hardy and easy to maintain, it keeps its shape with minimal trimming and thrives in a variety of conditions, making it as practical as it is striking.

Equally impressive in a statement pot or planted directly into the garden, the Ilex Dark Shadow – Standard offers enduring structure and style, perfect for creating symmetry and impact in any outdoor space.

Grade: Varying heights

Container Size: 45lt

Features

An ornamental holly with dark shadow/emerald green foliage. Being Mediterranean origin, it’s a good coastal topiary option and can handle strong winds and dry conditions. Excellent for containers. Some of the main stems have a twist/bend in to give them some X factor and this is exactly how they would look in Spain and Greece. Created not to be perfect! Underplant with red geraniums spilling over the pot then you will have a topiary to really admire on your patio.
