106 year old Edwardian cottage garden with a 106 year old house attached which is equally challenging. Some days I feel like I'm the same age.

My #Hedgehog Holly #Ilex Aquifolium Ferox Argentea looking good after getting a severe haircut last year.

I would love to grow this beauty. I believe it is too cold here. Still, I would love to give it a shot.

@MelanieAt It's promoted as hardy up to -10 degrees. My brother gave me this one 17 years ago and it survived 2010 & 2011 winter temps down to -15 without cover. It can grow to an enormous specimen but I keep it small to fit in it's space. It may be worth a shot.

I would put a thermal blanket and mulch it heavily like I do for buddleia.
