holly with a luxurious glow
Ilex is a real winter favorite for florists, wholesalers, and decoration buyers. At Greenflor, you will find not only the classic red berries, but also orange and yellow ilex, as well as luxurious dyed varieties in gold, silver, champagne, platinum, metallic pink, and copper. Perfect for Christmas arrangements, festive bouquets, and high-end decorations.
the symbolism behind ilex
Ilex is so much more than just a pretty branch. It is a real mood creator with a story. In various traditions, it is brought into the home to bring good luck and start the new year on a positive note. The red berries symbolize hope, protection, and joy, feelings that are central to the winter season.
Ilex is ideal for festive creations, shop displays, and luxury styling concepts. The sturdy branches and plump berries provide structure and color, while the dyed varieties add a distinctive, modern twist to any design.
from harvest to perfection
Most ilex is grown in the Netherlands. The plants grow vigorously outdoors and are carefully harvested in the fall. During processing, the branches are laid out on large cloths, allowing the leaves to fall off naturally. This leaves only the berries: shiny, firm, and ready to be processed or dyed.
Dyed ilex is a particularly popular product during the Christmas season. With their metallic tones and luxurious finish, they fit perfectly with contemporary color trends and high-end winter collections.

season of shine
The ilex season begins as soon as the days get shorter and the first winter styling appears: from October to December. This is the period when the berries are at their most beautiful and the colors are at their most vibrant. The dyed varieties in particular fly off the shelves every year: metallic, champagne, and pink vibes are simply part of a shiny December. Those who shop early are guaranteed to get the best selection.
