Patio Holly Tree | Ilex × altaclerensis 'Golden King'

Variegated hollies are among our very favourite plants, and 'Golden King' is up there with the very best, sporting dark green leaves with tremendous golden margins. Alongside the wonderful evergreen foliage, this little patio tree (which only grows to 1.5m or so in height) also produces charming white flowers and vivid red berries. Sometimes, the variegation is so great that the entire leaf is painted in the lush golden chartreuse hues that gives this variety its name. A recipient of the RHS Award of Garden Merit, 'Golden King' has been shown to perform particularly well in British gardens.
