Winterberry

Winterberry, or Ilex verticillata, is the winter wonder your garden deserves! This deciduous Holly dazzles with vibrant red berries that persist through the chilliest months, creating a striking contrast against its bare branches. Picture those bright berries framed by a snowy backdrop—it’s pure seasonal magic! Plus, they’re a favorite snack for overwintering birds, making your garden a cozy haven for wildlife.

Thriving in full sun to partial shade and moist, well-draining soil, Winterberry is perfect for rain gardens, borders, or naturalized areas. It’s incredibly hardy, with berries that cling even through frigid temperatures—though a fierce wind might have other plans! This shrub also tolerates wet conditions with ease, adding versatility to its list of charms. Keep in mind, you’ll need both male and female plants for those iconic berries, as only the females bear fruit.
