Ilex verticillata

Winterberry

 

Common winterberry is a lovely shrub in the holly family. Unlike other hollys, winterberry sheds its leaves each fall, leaving behind clusters of brilliant red berries that serve to feed birds throughout the winter months.

 

Ilex verticillata grows in many different soil types from average to wet, and can thrive in full sun or shade, which makes it a highly versatile and ecologically useful plant. In order for the plants to produce berries you must have both male and female plants in close range, so we recommend planting at least 3-5 of these beautiful shrubs.

 

Plants can be purchased in-person or online (with in-person pick-up).

All online orders will be ready for pick-up 24-72 hours after purchase. You will receive an email to let you know when your order is ready. We kindly ask that you pick-up any orders within one week of purchase.
