Description
Ilex altaclerensis ‘Golden King’ is a striking evergreen or semi-evergreen shrub/tree known for its bold, glossy foliage with deep green centers and creamy-yellow variegated edges. New growth emerges in vivid shades of red, adding seasonal interest and contrast. Ideal for hedges, ornamental landscaping, or as a wildlife-attracting specimen, this cultivar is hardy, low-maintenance, and resilient once established. It prefers full sun to partial shade and tolerates a wide range of temperatures, making it suitable for Mediterranean climates like Cyprus. Its small, white to cream flowers bloom in late spring to early summer, followed by berries that may be toxic if ingested.
