DESCRIPTION
First time introduced in 1954, this grape holly has been commercially spread at the turn of the century. Its dramatic foliage makes it as successful in continental climates as palm trees in the coastal areas. The leaves are holly-like but gigantic, arranged in spectacular rosettes. These are very colourful with the first chills and turn intensely fiery red, holding this colour until the very end of winter. It is ideal for placing in the centre of groups as well as a standalone solitery.
