Add a vibrant twist to your landscape with Golden Girl® Meserve Holly (Ilex x meserveae 'Mesgolg'), a striking broadleaf evergreen shrub prized for its brilliant golden-yellow berries and glossy deep green foliage. Unlike traditional Hollies with red berries, this unique variety offers a bold pop of gold, creating a stunning contrast against its rich, leathery leaves.

Golden Girl® thrives in full sun to partial shade and is incredibly cold-hardy, making it an excellent choice for year-round structure and visual appeal. The birds will adore these gold berries as much as the butterflies adore the white spring blooms.

Plant this Meserve Holly with a compatible male pollinator (such as Blue Prince Holly) to ensure a heavy berry set that lasts through winter, providing seasonal interest and a valuable food source for birds.
