Winterberry (Ilex verticilata)

Winterberry (Ilex verticilata)
Zones 3-9 | Soil: Widely Adaptable | Size: 6-10'H x 6-10'W

A slower growing shrub with bright red fruit which ripens in late August and will hang on into January - making for fantastic winter color. Adaptable to wet conditions and is native in swampy areas. Widely used in wreath decorating. Winterberry is a dioecious species, meaning female flowers and male flowers grow on separate plants. To get berries on a female plant, a male plant must be near. It is nearly impossible to sex a Winterberry at a young age, but law of averages says if you plant at least 10 you’ll get somewhat of a mix.

Potted - Plant Height 12-18"
