Plant of the Day
Sunday 28 January 2018

An impressive, old specimen of Ilex aquifolium ‘Argentea Marginata Pendula’ (Perry’s weeping silver) at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, UK. The evergreen drooping branches form a small dome of spiny leaves which are purple when young, and mature to be dark green with a broad creamy edge. As the cultivar is a female plant there are also red berries which are popular with the birds.
