Winterberry Holly (Ilex verticillata) is a deciduous shrub native to North America, stuns with vibrant red berries throughout winter, contrasting beautifully against its bare branches. Unlike its evergreen cousins, it loses its green leaves in fall, but the berries persist long after, offering a welcome splash of color in the cold months. These berries are a feast for birds, but they are toxic to humans and pets.

To achieve abundant berries, remember that Winterberry Holly is dioecious, meaning you need both male and female plants for fruit production. These plants are grown from seed and cannot be distinguished between male and female. We recommend planting 5 or more to to ensure pollination. Plant them within 30-50 feet of each other for proper pollination, which occurs in late spring through inconspicuous greenish-white flowers.

With minimal care, Winterberry Holly thrives, adding a touch of winter magic to your landscape and providing a valuable food source for feathered friends.
