Ilex × meserveae 'Conang', commonly known as holly 'Blue Angel', is a hybrid holly cultivar developed by Herbert Meserve in the United States in the mid-20th century. It is a cross between Ilex aquifolium and Ilex rugosa.
'Blue Angel' is an evergreen shrub that typically grows to a height of 2-3 meters and a spread of 1-2 meters. It has an upright habit and dense growth, making it a popular choice for hedging and topiary. The leaves are a glossy dark green with a spiny margin and a distinctive blue-green hue on the undersides.
