Bring year-round structure to your landscape with Ilex × meserveae 'Honey Maid'. This broadleaf evergreen holly forms a dense, naturally pyramidal shrub with rich green leaves edged in creamy variegation for bright color in every season.

At maturity, you can expect a substantial plant, typically reaching about 12-15 feet tall. Site it in full sun to part shade; in hotter areas, your plant will appreciate some afternoon shade. Give it moist, well-drained, slightly acidic soil, and water regularly during establishment so roots can settle in deeply.

'Honey Maid' is a female selection and can set showy red berries when a compatible male holly is nearby for pollination, adding winter interest and garden color. Prune in late winter if you want to refine the outline or keep the plant at a specific size; it also takes well to shaping for hedges, screens, and foundation plantings. Mulch to moderate soil temperature and conserve moisture, and protect from harsh winter winds where conditions are exposed.
