Dragon Lady Holly: "Dragon Lady HollyIlex x aquipernyi is more commonly known as 'Dragon Lady', a striking name that may invoke vivid images Ð perhaps a strange lady that shouts at birds, and lives in a scary house set back from the road where the shutters are always drawn. That really is not the case though. This is not a scary plant by any stretch of the imagination, and is actually known for forming a tidy and organised pyramidal shape that in winter becomes a veritable berry-laden playground for many birds. It brings year-round glossy dark green spiky foliage to your landscape whilst being low maintenance and easy to shape if you desire; this holly really is an asset to any green space. Tall and slender, it can reach 20 feet high, with its rounded base measuring around six feet if you choose to leave it to its own devices. If you decide that the almost perfect pointed conical shape is not for you then a little effort can shape it to be more columnar; either way, the organised nature of its shape will add great interest to large beds and borders. Alternatively itÕs also an excellent hedging plant that can create shade and privacy for your property."
