Grow a stunning native shrub with Ilex verticillata, commonly known as Winterberry Holly. This deciduous native holly is famous for its bright red berries that persist after the leaves drop, creating spectacular winter color and visual interest when the landscape is bare.
Winterberry Holly is highly valued for native gardens, wildlife habitats, rain gardens, and ornamental landscapes. The berries provide an important winter food source for birds and wildlife, while the dense branching offers shelter. Plants are dioecious, meaning both a male and female plant are required for berry production. Winterberry is especially popular for cut branches, holiday décor, and naturalized plantings.
You will receive:
✔️ 25 fresh, viable seeds
✔️ Open-pollinated, native species
✔️ Carefully packaged for successful planting
