Ilex meserveae 'Gentle'
Ilex meserveae 'Gentle' is a compact evergreen holly holding fine, serrated foliage. The leaves appear green through summer but take on a rich red-shading through autumn into winter, creating year-round colour and texture. In spring it bears masses of white flowers that provide valuable nectar for pollinators. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Fully winter hardy and adaptable to a range of soils and aspects, ‘Gentle’ delivers evergreen structure in small gardens, patios or containers. With its slow growth and neat habit it’s ideal for low hedging, edging or styling around paths and seating areas. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
