(Variegated English Holly) An attractive variegated holly, propagated by ourselves from an unusual sport found on a holly hedge in the local village of Blackfordby and named after our cheerful Doberman 'Calypso'.

With its dark stems and handsome, green and gold-splashed leaves it is particularly good for adding some colour to a winter garden.

This is a female holly and will have masses of red berries in winter once established if pollinated by a nearby male such as Ilex x meserveae 'Blue Prince'.
