Ilex mutchagara

Ilex mutchagara is an evergreen holly valued for its dense, fine-textured foliage and naturally neat habit, making it well suited to structural planting and small gardens. In late spring to early summer it bears small white flowers; on female plants these may be followed by berries if a compatible male holly is nearby. Grow in full sun or light shade in moist but well-drained soil; fully hardy in most UK gardens.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
