Ilex x meserveae 'Prince Charming' – This is arguably the most beautiful of all the Meserve male pollinators which include 'Blue Boy' and 'Blue Prince'. Deep, dark lustrous evergreen leaves cloak blackish purple stems on a relatively compact shrub. Clustered flowers at leaf axils open pink and fade to pale pink and white. Stems are more upright and jutting in youth but in a matter of a few years the large shrub will begin to grow more densely. 'Prince Charming' is handsome, indeed, sited in three-quarters shade to full sun planted in fertile, acid soil. The occasional judicious trim will keep this Holly even more dense and bushy. The flowers which occur in spring are the perfect counterpart to 'Blue Girl', 'Honey Jo', 'Blue Maid', 'Dragon Lady', 'Gretchen', 'Blue Princess', 'Golden Girl' and 'Honey Maid'. Bees love the flowers and birds including Cedar Waxwings, Robins, Bluebirds and Titmice among others love the female fruits in winter. We recommend spring planting for northern customers. Established potted holly, cutting grown.
