Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comI purchased approximately 30 Blue Maid Hollies and planted them last of Spring 2019, this year they’re starting to blossom but I noticed about 10 of them are a lighter green and the rest are a nice rich blue green. Did I get tricked and sold different hollys? Or are they all the same just not getting the same nutrients?

It is most likely a nutrient issue, namely Iron. They may be lacking the nitrogen necessary, or the pH of the soil could be too high, as well.
