Ilex x altaclarensis 'Golden King'-1/2 std -Clear Stem

£149.95
The Ilex 'Golden King' half-standard topiary is a striking and elegant feature for gardens, patios, and formal landscapes. Known for its glossy, variegated foliage with golden-yellow margins and rich green centers, this evergreen tree brings year-round interest and a touch of brightness to outdoor spaces. Its lollipop shape, with a neat, rounded crown atop a straight stem, makes it a perfect choice for adding structure and symmetry to pathways, doorways, or as a statement piece in pots or borders. Despite its name, 'Golden King' is a female variety, producing vibrant red berries in autumn if a male pollinator is nearby. Hardy and easy to maintain, it thrives in well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade, requiring only occasional pruning to maintain its tidy form. This versatile and decorative topiary enhances any setting with its bold, colourful appeal.

FAQs

How will my plants arrive?

Every plant is checked by our team before it leaves the nursery. Smaller plants are securely boxed, while larger specimens and pallet orders are shipped on our specialist plant courier network to protect foliage and rootballs in transit.

How long does delivery take?

Most orders are dispatched within 7 working days. Larger specimens and rootballed plants may take a little longer, as we deliver these by pallet — we'll contact you to arrange a convenient delivery date. Full details are on our [Shipping Costs] page.

What if my plant arrives damaged or in poor condition?

Let us know within 48 hours of delivery with a couple of photos and we'll put it right with a replacement or refund. We stand behind everything we grow and sell.

Do you offer any guarantee on your plants?

All our plants are nursery-fresh and healthy on dispatch and our shipping companies are hand selected for the care they take, so we guarantee the plant's health on delivery. Let us know immediately is soemthing is wrong and we will provide you support.

Are your plants grown in the UK?

We're a family-run nursery based in Welshpool, Powys. Plants are either grown here on site or sourced from trusted specialist growers, and everything passes through our nursery for inspection before dispatch.

Can I collect my order instead of having it delivered?

Yes — you're welcome to collect from our nursery in Welshpool. Just select collection at checkout [or: give us a ring on 01938 553015 to arrange a time].

Do you sell to the public or trade only?

Both. Despite the name, anyone can order from us — and we offer competitive pricing for landscapers, garden designers and trade customers buying in volume. [Contact us for trade terms.]

Can I get advice before I order?

Absolutely. We're real plants people, not a call centre — ring us on 01938 553015 or email orders@derwenwholesale.co.uk and we'll happily help with sizing, spacing, variety choice or anything else.

Do you deliver to my area?

We deliver across mainland UK. Some remote postcodes, the Scottish Highlands and islands may carry a surcharge or longer lead time — see our Shipping Costs page or get in touch.
