Description

Winterberries are deciduous hollies that bring year-round interest to the landscape, and the two varieties in our Winterberry Hardy Shrub Collection ensure a stunning display of brilliant berries each fall. Winterberries are dioecious, meaning they have separate male and female plants. 'Winter Red' is female, and flowers require pollination from a compatible male, such as 'Southern Gentleman', to produce berries.

'Winter Red' is famed for her signature clusters of festive, fire engine-red fruits that persist into winter, providing food for both overwintering and migrating birds. The male, 'Southern Gentleman', has attractive green foliage and small whitish-green flowers, but no berries. If properly pollinated, the female flowers mature in late summer into clusters of vibrant berries. The splendor of these clustered berries is fully revealed when the foliage drops in autumn. Cut branches make beautiful holiday decor. The plants prefer full sun to part shade and moist soil.

Our Winterberry Hardy Shrub Collection covers roughly 120 sq ft, and contains 4 plants:
