Bach Flower No.15 - Holly

Bach holly flower, vigorous and protective

Bach Holly flower is derived from holly, a particularly popular plant during the Christmas season. Indeed, this shrub is full of vigor from November onwards, and remains colorful and full of life until March. It's known for its thorny leaves, with tapering tips. These can resemble little hearts, while the flowers, which appear in May and June, are pure white.

Holly is a slow-growing plant that can live for almost three hundred years. Although this shrub often measures just a few dozen centimetres, it can sometimes reach several metres in height, notably by clinging to other trees. Extremely hardy, Holly can grow in both shade and sun, and its evergreen foliage makes it a symbol of strength.
