Ilex 'Gold King' is a striking evergreen holly known for its distinctive variegated foliage. This variety features glossy green leaves with bold, golden-yellow margins, adding a splash of color to gardens throughout the year. In winter, it also produces bright red berries that stand out against the vibrant foliage. 

Where Should I Site My Ilex 'Gold King'? 

Plant Ilex 'Gold King' in a sunny or partially shaded area with well-drained soil. It adapts well to different soil types, including clay, loam, and sandy soils, as long as they are not waterlogged. For the best leaf color and berry production, choose a location that offers some protection from strong winds. This holly variety works well in garden borders, as a formal hedge, or as a standout feature plant. 

Growth and Pruning

Prune in late winter or early spring to remove dead or damaged branches and shape the plant. Light pruning throughout the growing season can help maintain its shape and encourage denser foliage.
