Dormancy Notice: This plant, like many others, enters dormancy or semi-dormancy in the late fall through early spring. *THIS PLANT IS NOT DEAD. It is completely healthy but upon receiving the plant, you may notice it exhibits fewer leaves, discoloration, or complete leaf drop. This is normal and essential to the plant's health. In fact, planting during dormancy promotes root growth, giving your plant a better start for spring, when new foliage will begin to grow.

Winter Red Winterberry Holly Shrubs for Sale Online

In addition to providing attractive green foliage during the growing season, this beloved, low-maintenance shrub produces red berries in late summer that attract birds through the winter.

Botanically referenced as 'Ilex Verticillata 'Winter Red,'' the Winter Red Winterberry Holly shrub can grow up to 8 feet tall but can be pruned in the early spring to keep it at a more manageable height. The plant's multi-stemmed growth habit, in addition to its lustrous foliage and berry production, make the Winter Red a stunning addition to any winter landscape.

Ideal conditions for the Winter Red shrub include full sun to partial shade and regular watering to maintain evenly moist soil. With a male and female winterberry presence, your female plant should readily produce plentiful amounts of bright red berries. A male pollinator like a Jim Dandy Winterberry Holly must be planted nearby to produce berries.

Some reasons to love this North American Native plant include its cold hardiness and tolerance to urban pollution and road salts. Most commonly used in mass plantings, as privacy screens, or as shrub borders, the Winter Red Holly is a phenomenal landscape addition.

As an added bonus, the Red Winterberry branches make great additions to holiday floral arrangements.
