Ilex altaclerensis 'Golden King' is a striking evergreen holly valued for its large, glossy leaves edged with rich golden yellow. Forming a dense, upright shrub, it provides reliable structure and colour throughout the year and performs well in a wide range of garden conditions. As this variety is selected for foliage rather than fruit, it is ideal for gardeners looking for bold evergreen interest without the expectation of berries. Hardy, wind tolerant, and easy to maintain, it is well suited to hedging, screening, and use as a feature plant.
