Winterberry is a beautiful native holly shrub known for its brilliant red berries that brighten the landscape through late fall and winter. Unlike evergreen hollies, Winterberry loses its leaves in autumn, leaving behind clusters of vibrant berries that persist well into the colder months. This hardy shrub grows naturally in wetlands, woodland edges, and moist lowland areas throughout eastern North America and performs well in Pennsylvania and the broader Northeast. In spring, Winterberry produces small white flowers that attract pollinators. By fall, female plants develop dense clusters of bright red berries that provide an important food source for birds and wildlife during winter when other foods are scarce. Winterberry is widely used in wildlife habitat plantings, native hedgerows, rain gardens, and natural landscaping. Its striking winter color and ecological benefits make it a valuable addition to conservation plantings and home landscapes. Seed Pack Options: 25 Seeds 100 Seeds Plant Characteristics: Botanical Name: Ilex verticillata Plant Type: Native deciduous shrub Mature Height: 610 feet Sun: Full sun to partial shade Soil: Moist to wet soils preferred Wildlife Value: Very high berries support many bird species Planting Notes: Winterberry seeds typically require warm and cold stratification to break dormancy. Seeds are often best sown outdoors in fall or winter to allow natural seasonal cycles to occur. Germination may occur the following spring or sometimes the second growing season. Because Winterberry is dioecious, separate male and female plants are required for berry production.
