Ilex Golden King is a variety of English Holly that is a densely foliaged, evergreen shrub that carries spiny, glossy green leaves with a golden-yellow margin. Small, white, mildly fragrant flowers are produced in spring and result in distinctive, large red berries which attract birds. It typically grows to 3 m tall and 2 m wide. The coarse texture and colour sets Ilex Golden King apart from other landscape plants making it ideal for mixed plantings, hedging or screening, for contrasting with other foliage types, or for use as a backdrop for smaller plants.
