Ilex verticillata 'Winter Red' / WINTERBERRY HOLLY

Ilex verticillata 'Winter Red,' commonly known as Winterberry Holly, is a deciduous shrub prized for its spectacular display of vibrant red berries that persist throughout the winter, offering a burst of color in the colder months. This female cultivar produces an abundance of berries after being pollinated by a nearby male Winterberry Holly, such as 'Jim Dandy' or 'Southern Gentleman.' 'Winter Red' features dark green leaves that turn yellow in the fall, adding seasonal interest before the berries appear. It thrives in moist, acidic, and well-drained soils, performing well in both full sun and partial shade, making it ideal for wetland areas, rain gardens, or landscapes in need of a striking, winter-hardy shrub. Known for its hardiness and low-maintenance nature, Ilex verticillata 'Winter Red' is a reliable, wildlife-friendly addition to any garden, attracting birds and adding seasonal beauty year after year.
