Our Winterberry Hardy Shrub Collection provides a stunning display of brilliant red berries each year! 'Southern Gentleman' pollinates the flowers of 'Winter Red' so they can develop into the familiar, cheery fruit. These native deciduous hollies have glossy green foliage in spring and summer, and female plants are laden with berries that persist through winter, feeding birds and creating year-round interest.

USDA Hardiness Planting Zones
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
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 is roughly 16' x 16' if planted together and contains 4 plants:
