Two confused variegated Holly bushes, confused! I’ll explain later on.
We have three of the variegated Holly bushes Golden King, the one above is in the main border of the back garden. I keep this one well trimmed not allowing it to outgrow this position where it brightens up the border in those dreary Winter days.
Golden King first made an appearance in 1898 in Edinburgh, the result of a cutting from Ilex x Hendersonii.

The third of these Holly bushes is in the woodland garden, this is where I think it looks at its very best, maintained to a height of about six feet. Last year we felt it was in need of pruning back as it was starting to hide the trunk of the young Acer Griseum. Well I say young but its actually been in the garden for about sixteen years, very slow growing but fabulous peeling cinnamon coloured bark.
